[Nfbf-l] bylaw versus constitution

[Sherri]

I looked up the definitions of bylaw versus constitution and this is what the dictionary says. To me, bylaws are statements of specific policies, whereas the constitution is the means by which the organization is governed. 



Bylaw:  

1. a standing rule governing the regulation of a corporation's or society's internal affairs.

2. a subsidiary law.

3. Brit. an ordinance of a municipality or community.

Constitution:

8. the system of fundamental principles according to which a nation, state, corporation, or the like, is governed.

9. the document embodying these principles.
