A constitution is a set of rules that are the ultimate source of legal authority for the state. The rules of the constitution identify the major institutions of the state, and govern the relationship between the state and the individual citizen.
The process for amending constitutions is generally quite difficult, often requiring majority votes from all parliamentary houses. The public may also have a say in constitutional amendments if the issue is put to them in a referendum. Specific percentages in order for the amendment to succeed depend on the nation in question.
