The general idea of a constitution and of constitutionalism originated with the ancient Greeks and especially in the systematic, theoretical, normative, and descriptive writings of Aristotle. Aristotle used the Greek word for constitution in several different senses. The simplest and most neutral of them was "the arrangement of the offices in a state". In this descriptive sense of the word, every state has a constitution, no matter how badly or erratically governed it may be.

Every government has an organizational structure that defines the specific responsibilities of its public officials. Some officials make the laws, others see to their enforcement. Taxes must be collected and revenues spent. There must be provision for preserving the domestic peace and providing for national defense.
