27. It dictates the structure of government, how laws will be enacted, and the rights of the people.

Without it, contracts cannot be enforced. So, it is more than a contract. A Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the peoples occupying that land. Neither the government or its people can break it (although, obviously, both do).

Your take on a constitution, any constitution, is perceptive.

Who enforces what amounts to an agreement (a contract) about the structure of a nation WHEN those who are suppose to enforce it, breaks it?
