1. constitution

   Character is what one is; reputation, what he is thought to be; his record is the total of his known action or inaction. As a rule, a man's record will substantially express his character; his reputation may be higher or lower than his character or record will justify. Repute is a somewhat formal word, with the same general sense as reputation. One's nature includes all his original endowments or propensities; character includes both natural and acquired traits. We speak of one's physical constitution as strong or weak, etc., and figuratively, always with the adjective, of his mental or moral constitution. Compare CHARACTERISTIC.

   Synonyms:
   character, disposition, genius, nature, personality, record, reputation, spirit, temper, temperament

   Preposition:
   The witness has a character for veracity; his character is above suspicion; the character of the applicant.

How to use constitution in a sentence?

1. Bennie Thompson:

   It's astounding that someone who so recently held a position of public trust to uphold the Constitution would now hide behind vague claims of privilege by a former President, refuse to answer questions about an attack on our democracy, and continue an assault on the rule of law.

2. Steny Hoyer:

   We believe proxy voting is not only consistent with the Constitution but consistent with the responsibility a member has to express the view of their constituents -- whether or not they can get to Washington, House Democrats.

3. Chad Walsh:

   From the utopian viewpoint, the United States constitution is a singularly hard-bitten and cautious document, for it breathes the spirit of skepticism about human altruism and incorporates a complex system of checks, balances and restrictions, so that everybody is holding the reins on everybody else.

4. Kurt Vonnegut, "Cold Turkey", In These Times, May 10, 2004:

   There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don't know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.
