Answer 1

Your constants need to be strings. So you have to "wrap" them in quotes like this:

define('ROOT',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
       ^    ^

When in doubt, always check the Manual, in that case define()

Add:
Also defining constants in a function is, what I find, a bit "dodgy". If you insist on not moving them to another (e.g. config) file which is loaded in the very beginning then at least take them out of the class construct.

Answer 2

I think you have mis-understood what Define & constants are/do it doesn't really make sense to define a constant in that way from within an Object.

Perhaps this is a better approach to what you are doing:

Alternatively, the most common usage of setting up items using defines is withing a si9mple setting or config file...
