World Constitutions
Need a Vacation?
Welcome to World Constitutions. Most commonly, the term constitution refers to a set of rules and principles that define the nature and extent of government. Most constitutions seek to regulate the relationship between primary institutions (i.e. the executive, legislature and the judiciary) Within each institution, the relationships of sub-institutions are delineated. For example, executive branches can be divided into a head of government, government departments/ministries, executive agencies and a civil service/bureaucracy.

Most constitutions also attempt to define the relationship between individuals and the political entity (most commonly the nation state), and to establish the broad rights of individual citizens. It is thus the most basic law of a geographical territory from which all the other laws and rules are hierarchically derived.
There have been a few attempts at a world constitution, and as the world continues to shrink and become interconnected, a world constitution with the appropriate levels of executive, legislative, and judicial components will most definitely emerge.
