What’s the difference between composition and constitution

Interesting question... they tend to be used interchangeably, somewhat in error, but still communicates meaningfully.
In common usage, composition is the proportion of different parts to make a whole while constitution is the act, or process of setting something up, or establishing something; the composition or structure of such a thing; its makeup.
composition 1) something's ingredients like a budget/cake 2) creative work like an opera/poem
constitution 1) composition/ingredients like atoms in a chemical 2) document establishing an organization like US 5th amendment
Perhaps I should "plead the 5th" answering this question :)

Composition means the way in which something is put together or arranged. The combination of parts or elements that make up something.
Example:
-You compose a piece of writing
-You compose a written piece of music especially one that is very long and complex.
Constitution has many meanings:
1)A constitution is the set of political principles by which a place (state, nation) or organisation is governed, or the written document that records it.
2)The physical state of someones health especially the healthy, strength and appearance.
For example:
-He has a string constitution
2a) How something is made up or formed by different parts.
For example:
-The constitution of a society.
3) The act of establishing, making, or setting up.
For example:
-Before the constitution of civil laws.

2 very different words.
Composition- comes from "compose". Can mean what something is made of (like different ingredients). It could also mean a written piece of music, such as "I've only started writing songs last year. I have a total of 5 compositions"
Constitution - refers to the one you see in law or politics. Defining it might need more complex terms but to simply state, it is a set of practices or principles that a national (country) body follows. "Constituents" refer to people and in English, cannot really be used to refer to different ingredients or parts of a composition.
Hope this helps! 🙂
