- found: Wikipedia, Oct. 19, 2011 (A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state of other organization is governed. These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to comprise a written constitution. Constitutions concern different levels of organizations, from sovereign states to companies and unincorported associations.)
