Abstract
To what extent does a codified constitution impact liberty within a society? What would happen to liberty in a society of
one, a society of two, and a society of three? Would a codified constitution carry any meaning? By examining the regime,
religion, and the size of the society in China, Russia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Iran, this study exemplifies
that a codified constitution cannot help or hinder liberty, but the political regime and the role of religion can. Through
analyzing the size of society in Robinson Crusoe, 1984, and the island life of Marty Bluewater, the theory has been brought
up that a constitution would be meaningless in a one-person society; a two-person society would be a real society; a
constitution can impact a three-person society as a legal instrument.
