Think of the Constitution of a country as the Mother of all laws of that land.  It operates based on territory - meaning it applies to all those who can be found on the territory in certain aspects, especially criminal matters and the bill of rights - and it also operates on the basis of citizenship in that it all citizens of that country are governed by the Constitution.

As to the constitutional grounds upon which privacy is based...  First, it should be noted that the word 'privacy' is not found anywhere in the constitution.  However, as the Supreme Court noted in Griswold v. Connecticut, the Bill of Rights and in particular the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, create a "right to privacy, no less important than any other right carefully and particularly reserved to the people."  In Griswold, the Court used such reasoning to strike down a Connecticut law that made it a crime for pharmacists to dispense birth control.  In 1973, of course, the Court relied on its decision in Griswold to strike down a Texas law that banned abortions in the landmark case, Roe v. Wade.  An excellent website for more on the right to privacy is:\n\nhttp://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/index.php/Privacy\n\nFor recent news on the contemporary debate over the constitutional and legal aspects of abortion, see:\n\nhttp://jurist.law.pitt.edu/currentawareness/abortion.php

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. \n\nSection 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.

I would say yes. In theory, even in a constitutional monarchy, the constitution comes from the Monarch, and is of his or her will. This said, the monarch could regain executive authority if there was enough cause. This is actually the benefit of a monarchy. In Spain for instance, after the King was reinstalled, the army generals tried to stage a coup. The King asked all forces loyal to the monarchy to come to his and the nations aid. They overthrew the generals and because of the king, order was restored.

The Judicial Branch. They are able to legislate from the bench by fiat and it is all but impossible to overrule their decisions. Recently they virtually eliminated the concept of private property and have decided in the past that the First Amendment can be severely restricted, just to name a few. The Constitution includes a procedure for amending the Constitution, but the U.S. Supreme Court has managed to bypass these controls time and again.\n\nThe Executive Branch and The Legislative Branch remain a good check and balance over each other, but the Judicial Branch has become a loose cannon.

A constitution is a system, often codified in a written document, which establishes the rules and principles by which an organization is governed. In the case of nation states, this term refers specifically to a national constitution, which defines its nation's fundamental political principles and establishes the power and duties of each government. Most national constitutions also guarantee certain rights to the people. Historically, before the evolution of modern codified national constitutions, the term constitution could be applied to any important law.\n\nConstitutions are found in many organizations. They are found extensively in government, at supernational (e.g. United Nations Charter), national (e.g. Constitution of the United States), and sub-national/provincial (e.g. Constitution of Maryland) levels. They are found in many political groups, such as political parties and pressure groups, including trade unions (labor unions). There are many non-political groups and entities that may have constitutions of a sort such as companies and Voluntary organisations.

Questions like or similar to this one have appeared here several times.  Other than those who ask such questions to simply get a response to see what others think, often they come up (in my opinion) because the asker (present company excepted, of course) due to a lack of education as to what the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights actually are and mean.\n\nFirst of all, the Constitution of the United States was created to create a general government (in this case a federal government) and the relationship between that general government and the ratifying States and their citizens, as ratified by the several States as representing the citizens of each of their States.   \n\nIt is not a document of laws nor does it grant any rights.  It is a structure which acts as a foundation from which laws are to be enacted which are necessary (and proper) to carry through the powers delegated to the federal government created by those delegated powers.\n\nThe Bill of Rights is the result of an agreement made during the Constitutional Convention to gather the votes necessary to propose the draft of the Constitution to the then standing Congress under the Articles of Confederation.  It first came up (by George Mason) during the discussion concerning trial by jury.  \n\nAt that time 8 of the 13 State Constitutions (the States had real Constitutions prior to the Constitution of the United States) had forms of a Bill of Rights and George Mason had written Virginia’s in 1776.\n\nSubsequent to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States and during the first session of the Congress, James Madison was given the task of drafting this Bill of Rights and in this effort he used the Virginia Bill of Rights as a guide.  His work resulted in a Bill of Rights with 12 articles being proposed to the several State legislatures.  Only 10 were ratified at that time.\n\nBills of Rights are not new to our historical roots, certainly Magna Carta can be considered a form of a Bill of Rights and there were others through the years such as “The Petition of Right [1628] and “The Bill of rights” [1689].\n\nEven so, the United States Bill of Rights is less a listing of individual rights than it is selected controls on the federal government.  This is because of the structure of the Bill of rights, that is, the first 8 ratified articles of the Bill of Rights are exclusionary articles in that they exclude the federal government from doing specific acts.  The final two articles are declarations of basic truths and are therefore controlling of the federal government.\n\nAll of this structure of government can reasonably be considered as being a natural evolution of our heritage of the Common Law easily traceable to the Great Charter of 1215 (Magna Carta) and, in my opinion, founded in the developing Common Law during the preceding 2,000 years.\n\nDuring the intervening years since 1791 (year of the ratification of the Bill of Rights) 27 Amendments have been made to the Constitution of the United States changing that structure.\n\nLegislative statutes are enacted within this structure and the constitutional structures of the various States.  Those enacted laws, in the style of our common law, evolve and produce new laws, as well as new judicial interpretations.  In that sense we do, and yet we don’t, live within what occurred 215 years ago.  \n\nIn such a system, how can it be out of date?  It has lasted so long with relatively little change because its roots and its intent and its content are focused on individual rights.

the funny thing about the constitution is that it is exactly as democratic as anyone wants it to be (or doesn't).  basically it can be anything based on your interpretation of it.\n\nan example.  the constitution protects our freedom of speech.  meanwhile, there are a thousand laws limiting this freedom.  some are for legitimate reasons and some aren't.  someone like george w. bush reads the constitution and believes that we as americans have very few civil liberties, that it is okay for him to put restrictions on our "constitutionally protected" rights of free speech, religion, assembly, privacy, due process, and many, many more, and that these rights can be sacrificed in order to protect "national security".  other people and organizations, such as the ACLU or the democratic party before its spine mysteriously disappeared a few years ago, believe that these rights should not be infringed, ever, for any reason.  \n\nthis just goes to show how two different people can read the same thing and come away with two completely different opinions about what it actually means.
