The Constitution of Meriad is the supreme law of Meriad. The Constitution, originally comprising four articles, lays out the national frame of government. The first three articles entrench the doctrine of separation of powers, whereby the government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the unicameral Parliament of Meriad; the executive, consisting of the Monarch and the Prime Minister; and the judicial, composed of the Court of Justice of Meriad. Article four lays out the means by which the document may be amended.

The Constitution was created in joint session by royally appointed representatives from each of the two factions in the War of the Second Son at Mjeräðsten Castle in modern-day Kjelmoen Administrative Region, and officially came into effect in 1763. It was substantially revised in 1821 by means of a Constitutional Convention, wherein the document was amended to include articles securing the rights of individuals subject to the rule of the Parliamentary Monarchy, ensuring such rights as freedom of speech, press, religion, and association, among others.
