One has many sets of identities that exist prior to a constitution. But by agreeing to certain basic norms and principles, one constitutes one's basic political identity. The constitutional norms are the over arching framework within which one pursues individual aspirations, goals and freedoms. The constitution sets authoritative constraints upon what one may or may not do. It defines the fundamental values that we may not trespass. So the constitution also gives one a moral identity.
