Definition: Anticonstitutional refers to a principle that limits or restricts government powers, often at the expense of individual rights and freedoms. This term originally emerged from the context of ancient Greek philosophy, where it was used to describe individuals who refused to submit to the authority of their rulers. The term "anticonstitutional" is now commonly applied in modern legal contexts to refer to those who advocate for measures that contradict or undermine traditional constitutional principles governing government power and rights.
