As of November 2026, constitutional law has been mentioned in 2 episodes across 2 podcasts, first heard Dec 2025 on Stuff You Should Know.

Constitutional law is a body of law which defines the role, powers, and structure of different entities within a state, namely, the executive, the parliament or legislature, and the judiciary; as well as the basic rights of citizens and their relationship with their governments, and in federal countries such as the United States and Canada, the relationship between the central government and state, provincial, or territorial governments.
