The modern ideological roots of the idea of constitutional law are connected with the names of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and other scholars who claimed the concept of concentration of powers and separation of powers and developed the notion of social contract. According to the above-mentioned notion, people in society willingly give up absolute freedom for sake of security and prevention of rule of «the law of the jungle» (the principle that only the strongest will survive). The works of these philosophers influenced the authors of the US Constitution and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen.
As the constitution is the framework for government then constitutional law is the study of foundational laws of nation states. Constitutions may limit or define the authority and procedure of political bodies to provide for enforcement of new laws and regulations.
Constitutional law is the body of law governing the implementation and interpretation of the constitution. It defines the range and application of the terms of the Constitution and covers fundamental aspects of the application of government authority in the nation states. It is a field of law that is both complex and broad. Some constitutional lawyers maintain that the Constitution purposely remains vague and subject to interpretation so that it may be adopted to the circumstances of a changing society. Other constitutional scholars, however, maintain that the provisions of the Constitution should be strictly construed and its provisions applied in a very literal manner.

Christmas is the time of ( happy) but it's not a good time for everyone. Take turkeys, for example. Every year millions of turkeys end up on a dinner table. But not Lofty. Lofty is a (luck) bird. He was born on a (Britain) farm and has spent many (wonder) hours there. One day it was Lofty's time to go to the market. Anyway, he wasn't as (fortunate) as many other turkeys: nobody knows how but Lofty ran away! He ended up in an animal rescue centre. (Lucky) for Lofty, the people in the centre are all vegetarians, so Lofty's future looks bright.
Good job!
I can not say that I have become a Potter’s fan. He is little bit strange, but at the same time he is brave and very smart. He knows how to act, how to communicate with people and how to be a good friend. Sometime we have good and bad days, but we have to be strong and still trust people.
