Honestly, a country can have a universally recognized and respected written constitution without "everyone agree[ing] on it." See United States of America, Constitution Of.

But those who do not agree with it do not have any other custom or tradition which they claim is actually the constitution. Original claim stands on the argument that if there was really a single constitution, it would be trivial to write it down, not that everyone needs to agree on it, which is not a viable criteria anyway to test if something is constitution or not.
