It is important for a nation to have a constitution because without one you will be very unorganized and people won't know whether or not something is legal. It would also be harder to press justice because you wouldn't be able to legally enforce the law because technically there is no law.
A constitution sets the boundaries of a country's morals so lets say in the united states if the constitution didn't say that soldiers couldn't live in your home against your will that might just occur all the time because whether there is war or not they can legally do that and would be silly not to take advantage.
Summary:
So it is like guidelines for the government and people to follow.
