A constitution is a set of rules which defines the working
of a state and also makes it accountable by applying limitations.
Constitution can be coded or non-coded, depends on the
customs or the governments of countries. With the help of a coded constitution,
it is easy to decipher certain rulings and deeds of a government as a base line
is set which defines what is in the jurisdiction of an elected government.
Constitution provides legitimacy to a government while it
also hinders it to some extent. The concept of negative rights and positive
rights is important to visualize the functioning of government in accordance
with the constitution.
Constitution can be seen as an important factor in
encouraging and applying a nationwide unity. It shows that whichever the
government rules, the basic system should be underlined with some radical
rules. These rules must be accepted and followed in what so ever case. Governments
also sometimes bring amendment in constitutions if this change seems essential
for the time being.

I like how you have structured the blog but i think it would have been better if you could provide some examples. Just saying, it would have made it easier for me to fully absorb the features of constitutions in different states.
Allowing amendments and rectifications is very important - the fact that constitutions can be amended makes it possible for constitutions to still be relevant in today's world. Overall, I agree with your viewpoint that constitutions are essential - however, some components of constitution just seem to live in theory rather than practically.
yes sonia you are absolutely right in saying that some components of constitution only exist in theory. This is actually the case in Pakistan. As our laws are not properly implemented and people don't have the knowledge of their rights that have been provided to them by the state in the form of constitution.
