A constitution should indeed do more. It should proclaim the principle on which the State is organised and spell out the ideals and objectives of the social order. Every Constitution is set and operates in the context of certain organising ideas but these are often left unexpressed. Again this approach to constitution-making is out-dated.

By defining the goals of society and prescribing the institutional forms and procedures for pursuing them, ideology seeks to direct and concert the efforts of actions of the people towards the achievement of those goals. In this way it seeks to unite the society into one nation bound together by common attitudes and values, common institutions and procedures, and above all an acceptance of common social objectives and destiny.

These sentiments might equally serve as argument for not having a Constitution at all. Whilst unquestionably values are relative to time and place, every society should attempt to formulate the values that are relevant to its time and place; their embodiment in the Constitution does not entitle them to any more immutability than the frame of government instituted in the Constitution.
