The primary goal of constitutionalism is to establish and maintain a system of government that is based on a constitution. This includes ensuring that the powers and limitations of the government are clearly defined, protecting individual rights and liberties, promoting the rule of law, and providing a framework for the functioning of the government. Constitutionalism aims to prevent the abuse of power by those in authority and to create a system that is accountable, transparent, and respects the rights of its citizens.
