查看“How to Write a Constitution”的源代码

A constitution is a document that provides the rules on how an organization of people (e.g., a small club, a university group, or even a group as large as a country or state) runs its affairs. For most people, the need to write a constitution will likely arise in the context of a small organization. If you are writing a constitution for a student organization, your university may have a sample constitution on which you can model your own.
