What's another word for 'constitution' that conveys a similar meaning? [closed]
I'm looking for a word similar to constitution but in the context of an organization or team rather than a country. Basically a document that a team collaborates on and whenever they want to make a revision or amendment it has to go through intense discussion and review first (so, similar to when a court has to debate before an amendment to a constitution is applied). Furthermore, this document outlines everything the organization or team needs to know (i.e. institutional knowledge) (similar to how a constitution might outline everything a citizen needs to know to live in their country).
Edit: To add more ideas.... in my mind it's a document that's continually updated to reflect the current consensus of a group of people.
Solution 1:
Charter would be a good choice,
From Lexico:
A written constitution or description of an organization's functions.
‘the impending review of the BBC's Charter’
From the American Hertiage Dictionary
A document outlining the principles, functions, and organization of a corporate body; a constitution: the city charter.
