konstitucija

Konstitucija is the Lithuanian word for constitution. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged to be governed. It is typically a supreme law, meaning that it is the highest law in the land, and all other laws, statutes, and regulations must conform to it. Constitutions can be written or unwritten, and they can be rigid or flexible. A written constitution is a single document that outlines the basic structure of government, the rights of citizens, and the relationship between the different branches of government. An unwritten constitution, on the other hand, is not contained in a single document but is instead derived from a variety of sources, including statutes, common law, and conventions. A rigid constitution is one that is difficult to amend, while a flexible constitution can be amended more easily. The constitution of Lithuania, adopted in 1992, is a written constitution. It establishes Lithuania as a democratic republic with a parliamentary system of government. It also guarantees a wide range of rights and freedoms to its citizens, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to a fair trial. The Lithuanian constitution is considered to be a relatively rigid constitution, as amendments require a supermajority vote in the Seimas (parliament).
