Aristotle (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Aristotle (Illustrated)”, p.3114, Delphi Classics

The laws are, and ought to be, relative to the constitution, and not the constitution to the laws. A constitution is the organization of offices in a state, and determines what is to be the governing body, and what is the end of each community.

Law, Organization, Office
Aristotle, Hugh Griffith (2009). “Aristotle”, p.273, Collector's Library
