Answer:
Constitutionalism is a political movement and philosophy that states that the ruling power is bound to respect certain rights of its subjects. According to modern constitutionalism, the form of government must be based on a constitution.
Constitutionalism includes both the empowerment and the limitation of power, both granting power and specifying its scope and purpose. Constitutionalism is considered to promote the principles of the rule of law, the principle of predictability, and to prevent arbitrary administration of justice. According to constitutionalism, laws and judgments in countries with common law can be declared invalid because they are contrary to the constitution if it is done in accordance with the principle of transparency, usually by a constitutional court or a court with similar jurisdiction.

Explanation:
The def: not in accordance with a political constitution, especially the US Constitution, or with procedural rules. Ex." we cannot tolerate unconstitutional action" Declaring laws constitutional or un unconstitutional is done by the deciding in the Judicial Branch of government.
However, governments do not just create laws. Governments also enforce the laws set forth in the document defining the government—in the Constitution. In the United States, the failure to seat duly elected representatives of the people following a proper election, or the failure to provide for such elections would be unconstitutional even in the absence of any legislated laws whatsoever.
When the proper court determines that a legislative act (a law) conflicts with the constitution, it finds that law unconstitutional and declares it void in whole or in part. This is called judicial review. The portion of the law declared void is considered struck down, or the entire statute is considered struck from the statute books.
Depending on the type of legal system, a statute may be declared unconstitutional by any court, or only by special Constitutional courts with authority to rule on the validity of a statute. In some countries, the legislature may create any law for any purpose, and there is no provision for courts to declare a law unconstitutional. This can occur either because the country has no codified constitution that laws must conform to (e.g., the United Kingdom and New Zealand) or because the constitution is codified but no court has the authority to strike down laws on the basis of it (e.g., the Netherlands and Switzerland).
