Correct answer Jeff Arola

That means nothing will be selected outside the initial selection you made.

Also applies to additional selections made as well.

That is nothing will be selected outside the selected areas you specified.

As in the simple example below using a red square, a selection made with Constrain Selection checked

stays the same size with nothing selected outside the initial selection.

With Constrain Selection unchecked the selection goes outside the initial selection.

I put the guides there so the initial selection would be same with or without Constrain Selection checked.
