**Foundational Documents**

Foundational documents are essential texts that establish the core principles, structure, and values of an organization, government, or institution. These documents serve as the legal and philosophical base, guiding the creation, operation, and evolution of the entity they represent. Examples include constitutions, charters, bylaws, and declarations that define rights, responsibilities, and governance frameworks.
