Emergence of the Constitution

The emergence of the constitution required a long process of time and due to its importance, it is the fundamental law of the state. We find two types of constitutions namely customary constitutions and written ones. The Customary Constitution consists of legal traditions, unwritten practices which regulate the way of organizing and operation of government bodies and the relations between them. Customary constitutions can be found in England, Israel and New Zealand, but it should be noted that in addition to constitutional customs also exists constitutional laws which apply concurrently. Written Constitution is a legal document, solemn, sometimes rigid, and adopted by certain special procedures that contains clear and precise provisions and is found in most countries. The first written constitutions were: United States Constitution in 1787 which was preceded by the United States Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776, and in Europe The French Constitution of 1791, preceded by the French Declaration of Human Rights and Citizen 27 August 1789.
