Definición
- A written constitution of government such as the U.S. Constitution presents a characteristic set of problems for leadership: meeting the demands of the people for the functions government can provide while protecting the rights of the people, not only from private, natural, or external threats, but also from government itself and from tyrannical majorities. A written constitution, unlike an unwritten parliamentary system of government, is a supreme law that supersedes later laws that conflict with it unless they are adopted as amendments according to the procedures prescribed in the original constitution.
