List of national constitutions

1

The following is a list of national constitutions by country, semi-recognized countries, and by codification.

Codified constitutions (most recent, in use today)

A codified constitution is a constitution that is contained in a single document, which is the single source of constitutional law in a state. An uncodified constitution is one that is not contained in a single document, but consists of several different sources, which may be written or unwritten.

Sovereign states (UN member and observer states)

Unrecognized and partially recognized countries

Dependent territories

Uncodified constitutions

An uncodified constitution is one where not all elements are written into law. Typically some elements, such as constitutional conventions, are not written into law. Such elements are almost always written down somewhere (perhaps across multiple documents and/or publications), however written in documents that are not enforceable in law. Approximate dates have been listed below based on fundamental founding documents on governance of the respective countries.
