Why is a constitution in a constitutional government considered a higher law, and what are the major characteristics of a higher law?

Higher law refers to the law that is deemed as superior above other legislations that are made after. In United States, the US constitution is what considered to be the higher law.

The US constitution was created in 1787. Every single law that was created after that can't violate/cross the law written within constitution. Even until today, every laws proposed by congress need to undergone a "judicial review" where the supreme courts will decide whether that law proposal is violating any part of the constitution.

Here are major characteristics of a Higher law:

- Create a strong protection for people's basic right.

- Lay out a set of government responsibilities to protect the people.

- Create a distinct limitation on what the government can't do.

- Can only be changed if it obtain the support of the vast majority of the people.
