Note
A regular plural that reaches across every meaning of its singular. Most often it counts founding charters: those of states and institutions, and also the documents by which a religious authority sets out church laws or doctrines. It can just as easily count bodily makeup or temperament, as in soldiers of hardy constitutions. The form never changes, so only the surrounding words tell the reader which kind is meant.
