[1] First and foremost Constitution is defined as a framework of rules which dictate the way in which power is divided between the various parts of the state and relationship between the state and individual.\u00a0[2<\/a>]<\/span>\u00a0\u201cOn the other hand there are many different types of constitution, and they are the codified or uncodified, unitary or federal and they are seen as rigid or flexible\u201d. The UK has an uncodified constitution while the U.S.A has a codified constitution. In every country they have a constitution and this is because it serves as the primary law of the land and also set up the essential support and fundamental values of the government.<\/p>\n A Codified constitution is a constitution which is written in one single document, it usually has the procedure for its amendment entrenched in the constitution. It is also an official document explaining the nature of the constitutional decision which is about the rules and regulation and the political system as well as the rights of citizens and governments in a codified form. Constitution is supposed to be well- established and this is because they are not easy to make changes or abolish it.\u00a0[3<\/a>]<\/span>\u00a0A codified constitution also set out the duties, powers and functions of the government institutions in the terms of \u2018superior law\u2019 and it is judiciable. The other type of constitution is the uncodified constitution.<\/p>\nCODIFIED CONSTITUTION<\/h2>\n
