## What is the Cardano constitution?

The Cardano constitution is designed to be the founding document that brings together the community’s wishes and discussions and puts them into text as a set of rules and principles to abide by to maintain the sustainability of the Cardano network.

It outlines all the governance mechanisms, institutions, governance bodies, and responsibilities of all the various governance stakeholders in the Cardano ecosystem such as delegate representatives (DReps), stake pool operators (SPOs), and more.

The Cardano constitution is the cornerstone that will guide and serve as an anchor to all the other processes and developments Cardano will need to provide a sustainable technological platform for Web3 products and services.

## What is the role of Intersect in supporting the Cardano constitution?

Intersect is responsible for facilitating the overall Cardano Governance which also includes creation of the Cardano constitution, in its interim, draft, and final states. Furthermore, Intersect facilitates and supports the [Constitutional Committee](/intersect-knowledge-base/archive/cardano-governance-archive/governance-roles/constitutional-committee.md) and at the moment Intersect (via its members) is one of the interim Constitutional Committee members.
