constituents
Parts making wholes
Constituents are the parts that make up a whole: the chemical constituents of the compound, the constituents of a balanced diet.
In politics, constituents are the voters in a particular district—the people a representative serves: She met with constituents to discuss the proposed legislation.
The word works as an adjective meaning component or essential: constituent parts, a constituent assembly.
