The USA has the oldest written constitution still in effect today. A few nations, such as the UK and San Moreno have legal documents still in effect today that are older than the US Constitution, but as a single document forming both the basis of government and supreme law of the land, the USA's Constitution is the oldest.
Although the USA is a young nation, most of the older nations have gone through major political upheavals due to wars. Many nations today have constitutions dating after WWII or the end of the Cold War when they reconstituted their governments after liberation.
