Information Booster on Constitutionalism
Constitutionalism is a complex political theory that advocates for the principle that government power should be limited and exercised according to a fixed, established set of rules and laws, typically laid out in a constitution.

The Principle of Limitation: The defining characteristic of constitutionalism is the idea that the power of the state, including the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, must be constrained.

Source of Limitation: This constraint comes from the law, specifically the constitution, which is considered supreme. The government is not above the law but is subject to it (the Rule of Law).

Purpose: The primary goal of constitutionalism is to prevent arbitrary rule and protect the fundamental rights and liberties of citizens.
