constitution
含义: The body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or organisation is governed; also, a person's physical health or temperament.
The political sense of constitution is distinctive in the British context because the UK lacks a single written constitutional document, relying instead on statutes, conventions, and judicial precedent. This makes 'the British constitution' a more complex and debated concept than in countries with codified constitutions. The secondary sense — a person's constitution — refers to their robustness or susceptibility to illness, often in phrases like 'a strong constitution.'
