Full Definition of Constitutional Law

Constitutional Law is the body of law governing the written content of state and federal constitutions. Constitutional law reflects the fundamental relationships among the states, state and federal governments, the rights of individuals in relation to such governments, and the executive, legislative, and judicial actions that apply within the norms expressed by constitutional provisions. The judicial precedent of constitutional law has evolved through a process in which courts interpret, apply, and explain the meaning and context of particular provisions and principles of the constitution during a legal proceeding.
