Constitutional law

Constitutional law is the body of law that defines the relationship of the different entities within a state, namely the executive, legislative and judicial.

Not all states have codified national constitutions, although these states have a jus commune, or law of the land, which may consist of a variety of mandatory and consensus standards. These may include customary law, conventions, statutory laws, judicial laws or international norms and standards.
