Introduction. The Federal Constitution of Malaysia is considered as the supreme law in Malaysia. It is actually formed after the Constitution of the Federation of Malaya. The Constitution of the Federation of Malaya is the foundation of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia today. It is drafted by Reid Commission that headed by Lord William Reid in order to formulate a constitution for the preparation of a fully self-governing and independent Federation of Malaya. Peace and order is an essential ingredient in maintaining economic development, social order and political stability.

Background. A constitution is important because it ensures that those who make decisions on behalf of the public fairly represent public opinion. It also sets out the ways in which those who exercise power may be held accountable to the people they serve. And it sets out where government powers end by guaranteeing individuals’ specific rights and freedoms. These rights help to assure the protection and promotion of human dignity, equality, and liberty. Constitutions may provide for the division of powers between the central government and the regions. Constitutions should be agreed upon rather than imposed so as to provide an acceptable framework for the settling of different political views. They help provide for a stable society by ensuring that, although everybody may not agree with the government all the time, the people accept the legitimacy of the system of choosing governments.

Background. Absolute rights are rights which cannot be limited in any situation or for any reason, for example, protection form torture. Limited rights can be restricted in certain circumstances. The right to free speech, for example, may not extend to speech which offends the reputation of others or which incites racial or religious hatred. The constitution should outline how and when rights can be limited. derogable rights are those which can be suspended, for example, during a state of emergency. Such rights might include the right to freedom of expression or assembly. The constitution should set out in what circumstances suspension is allowed..

Provides security: The best ingredient that guarantees proper development is safety. When people know they are safe, and the same applies to their properties, it becomes easier to focus on innovation rather than worrying and focusing all their resources on protecting what they have. With a body like the police, and the judiciary working hand in hand to foster security, a country can be certain that its development is secured and provide a comfortable living for all its citizens. Dispute resolution: The law is very crucial when it comes to conflict resolution, and ensuring that everyone gets the best judgment. In most cases, when people have a dispute, without a proper system in place, they tend to use violence as a means to resolve, and in all cases, the outcome isn’t usually fair. With the law in place, it becomes easier to resolve disputes and guide the involved individual to a fruitful future where they can focus on what is important to them. Culture of fairness: When people know they savagely the law on their side, it becomes very easy for them to focus on what is important, and be fair in all their dealings. This is a great way to build a society that believes in prosperity that is made through hard work and determination..

Constitution is a symbol: Constitution is a document written to act as a symbol and represent rules and regulations of political and social organizations. These defined rules and principles act as a foundation in a nation to make sure that the matters of the state are carried out without any dispute. It provides the basic structure to a government: The presence of a constitution in any country is important because it provides legal and cultural aspects which help in governing the nation as well as government bodies. Stability in a state can be ensured by three sources which include the judiciary, executive, and legislature, and they are established by the constitution. It governs the distribution of power: Constitution allocates and clarifies specific powers to various organs of the state. It helps to regulate the relationship between nation and government institutions. Apex body: Constitution is above all other laws present and followed in the country. Any law that is being applied in the state needs to be passed by the constitution itself. The constitution needs to be respected and followed. If it shall not be respected and accepted, it will lose its strength and credibility which will further result in the fall of the nation..
