Roman Constitution

The Roman constitution was one of the general means by which the Roman people were governed. They were all unwritten. The first constitutional system of which anything meaningful is known is that of the Roman Republic. It developed after the overthrow of the Roman monarchy (traditionally dated to 509 BC). The second was that of the Roman Empire, which developed from that of the republic gradually during the early imperial period (from 27 BC on).
