Doctrinal views diverge as concerns the birth of the constitutional law; some doctors, especially Americans, claim that the United States Constitution marked the birth of this branch of law for it reflected the will of the people whom it franchised from the submission to the British monarch. In contrast with this minimalist conception, there existed, during the Roman and Medieval ages, a totally different view on the essence of this law for any juridical act enacted by the governors was considered and called a constitution without any reference to the entrenchment or constraint of power. Between these two conceptions, a hypothesis can be formulated as concerns the first rule that marked the first seed of constitutional law, namely a general abstract and obliging rule of behavior that organized the access to power. This rule could be the starting point of this law because constitutional law is related to the organization of power and the rule that regulates access to power constitutes the cornerstone of this organization. \
