The Constitution of the United States.
The first document which formally looks like what is now thought of as a "constitution" is the original United States Constitution. This is the first real document which explicitly (and in great detail) lays out how a country's government is to actual work. In terms of a more basic declaration of the purpose and function of government, the Magna Carta is generally considered to be the first such document.
It is either the Articles of Confederation or the Virginia Plan, which states the three branches of government.
The first part, the Preamble, describes the purpose of the document and the Federal Government. The second part, the seven Articles, establishes how the Government is structured and how the Constitution can be changed.
The document that lays out the specifications and assumptions to be used in preparing all estimates of a program's cost is known as the: Cost Analysis Requirements Description (CARD)
The US Constitution is a document that lays out the bylaws and principle this great nation was founded on. It also defines the structure of our government, including all kinds of procedures for passing and enforcing laws, powers and limits of the different branches of the government, and even explains how the Constitution itself can be changed when that is necessary. There have been 27 amendments to the Constitution so far. It is in effect, the proclamation by which The People literally founded The United States of America.
