Constitutions play a vital role in the stability of political systems by outlining fundamental principles, rights, and structures of government. A well-crafted constitution provides a framework for governance, limits power abuse, and establishes checks and balances among branches. It also protects individual rights, fostering social contract among citizens. Stability stems from adherence to constitutional norms; when those norms are respected, citizens are more likely to trust governing institutions. Conversely, violations can lead to unrest, challenges to authority, and instability within a political system.
