A Mixed Constitution or Mixed Government is a form of government composed of powers of a monarchy (one who reign over a state or territory for life of by hereditary right like a king or empress), aristocracy (government by a relatively small privileged class, usually with high socioeconomic status), and democracy (government by the people exercised usually through elected representatives).

Some advantages of this type of constitution:  

-Rulers can be elected by the citizens and not only acquire their position by inheritance.

-Makes it impossible for other degenerations like anarchy (absence of government) and tyranny (a government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler) rule a country or region.

-Mixed government might help to stabilize republics and prevent permanent anacyclosis (political evolution from “benign” government to “malignant” government)

Some disadvantages:

-Like the last advantage mentioned this kind of government could also transition from benign to malignant due to corruption, it means this could lead a country to be ruled by tyranny or dictatorship.

-Just as kings and aristocrats abused their political status in the past, democracy can degenerate into pandering (expressing your view in accordance with the likes of a group you are attempting to appeal and gain votes and followers).

-A state could fall in the hand of demagogues (leaders who gain popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignorance among common people to gain power) creating chaos and division in a country.

A constitution is consider a higher law (a moral or religious principle that takes precedence over the laws adopted by society)  because constitutional laws are made to help people and should serve as a practical legal criterion conformed with principles like fairness, morality and justice to they are expected to be followed by all.
