As rules regulating the system of governance, the constitution is the focal points in resolving disputes regarding rights and responsibilities of the government and the governed. The courts in applying the constitution in resolving contentious disputes sometime arrive at erroneous conclusions either through misinterpretation or misunderstanding.
