14. What is a constitution?

A constitution contains the highest laws of a country. These laws are higher than the president, higher than the courts and higher than the government. These are the laws that describe how the people of a country should treat each other, and what their rights and responsibilities are to each other. The constitution of a country cannot easily be changed; it is there to protect all of us now, and our children in the future.
