Both the law and the constitution are considered as general and mandatory rules, and the

any legal provision violates the constitution, it becomes void.
2 - The constitution regulates the supreme rules and the overall affairs of the State, but the
law deals with single partial topics in the State; so you find one constitution for each state, and
several laws, for example there is a Labor Law, an Economic Law and a Personal Status Law.
