Answer:

Defining power through a written constitution.

Why is it important for a constitution to define the power of the government?

The power of government is what the Constitution describes as being limited, not power itself. A ruling body otherwise has unbounded authority and is prone to misuse. Therefore, the constitution restricts that power using the framework of rights and other means.
