constitutional law

That part of the law relating to the constitution. It sets out the rules defining the powers, limits, and rights of government. In countries without a written constitution, such as the United Kingdom, constitutional law is a mixture of legislation, judicial precedent, and accepted conventional behaviour. Agencies that maintain constitutional law include, in Britain, the law courts and House of Lords; and, in the USA, the Supreme Court.
