Constitution

A constitution describes the standards of conduct for the government and its citizens. The Constitution of North Carolina sets out the general powers and activities of state government and defines the basic rights of individuals. A state's constitution cannot limit an individual's federal constitutional rights, but it can offer expanded rights to the citizens of the state.
