The demonstration came after a rallying call from a powerful Shi'ite group, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI).
The march was one of the first large demonstrations in favor of the draft constitution, which is opposed by many of Iraq's Sunni Arab minority.
SCIRI, led by Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, is Iraq's largest Shi'ite party.
