Are you asking in terms of the government? An organization? A specific group? I'll lay out a general conception for you:

A constitution is the base of any group / organization (i.e: Government, condo board, corporations, etc etc), which includes a set of fundamental rules and basic principles on how an organization, group, or state should operate.

For an example, the constitution of a nation establishes the principles along which the government and citizens should act. It will also establish various federal instances, the main branches of power, etc.

A bylaw is a specific type of rules or laws whose application is limited to a local area, a group of people, an organization, etc. Bylaws' applications are usually limited and they must pass under the revision of a higher authority before being released.

For an example, a lot of condos will have their own set of bylaws (i.e: no dogs allowed in the building, over 18+ residents only, etc). As stated, these bylaws will have to pass under the revision of a higher authority (i.e: The City Council) before being released so it's not considered unconstitutional (i.e: imagine if a condo bylaw stated "no people of ____ color").
