Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain constitutional law and its main topics, relay comparative approaches, institutions and doctrines from legal scholarship with attribution, describe national examples, and distinguish constitutional law from administrative law, statutory law and political theory, without giving personal legal advice.
The body of law that defines the structure of a state, the powers of its institutions and the rights of its citizens, whether in a written constitution, in customary constitutions such as the United Kingdom s, or in basic laws such as those of Israel, including specialised fields such as financial constitutional law and the constitutional law of particular jurisdictions such as the United States or the former autonomous province of Kosovo; the registry aliases also list protected landscape, which is unrelated and appears misfiled.
What it is for: Defining the structure and limits of state power.
It can be explain the field; relay comparative approaches; describe national examples; distinguish related fields.
