How did governments acquire this purpose?

Chapter 12 — The government • Paragraph 4 • §12.00.04.00

Although today governments (just the same as any other organisation) benefit from written constituting documents, this has not always been the case. Today the purpose of governments is written down in constitutions, but constitutions came to be only recently in human history. Governments (chieftains, kings, emperors, governing councils, etc.) existed long before them, presumably since the beginning of humanity. How then, did governments materialise in the analogue world and acquire this purpose so early in history?
