Abstract

A constitution represents a set of written rules or an accord directing the aims of an organization, how the organization will be run, and determining how the members will work together. A constitution comprises of two sections: the rules that encompass core principles of the club and regulations or by-laws. The constitution recognizes the principle of availing justice and courtesy to all, partiality to none, and the liberties of the minority to be given a voice at meetings.
