Oldest active constitution is San Marino.
Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution
Which is honestly meaningless but very convenient for US narrations. There were also older de facto constitutions, which are usually forgotten like the Henrician Articles of P-L Commonwealth. US constitution is famous because it was the one which was loudly proclaimed and imitated later.
Ok 👍
