The word "constitution" dates back at least as far as the Roman orator Cicero who used it in the limited sense of a regulation or ordinance. With the emperor Justinian in a later century it embraced the full body of imperial law, limiting the freedom of action of the subject though not of the sovereign. A major change occurred in England in 1688 when King James II fled from London and was deemed to have abdicated. The political leaders of the time invited William of Orange to become king on condition that he accepted the provisions of a newly drawn up Declaration of Rights.
