Definition
Not in accordance with or authorized by a constitution, particularly violating the fundamental law of a nation or state.
Etymology
Formed by adding the prefix 'un-' (not) to 'constitutional', which derives from Latin 'constitutio' meaning 'arrangement' or 'establishment'. The concept gained prominence with written constitutions in the 18th century, especially in the United States.
Kelly Says
The power of judicial review - courts declaring laws unconstitutional - wasn't explicitly stated in the U.S. Constitution but was established by the landmark 1803 case Marbury v. Madison. This principle has shaped democracy worldwide by giving courts the power to check legislative and executive authority.
