... In what sense does Britain lack an unwritten constitution?
The lack of an unwritten constitution reflects the continuity of the British state. The constitution regulates fundamental rules (or laws) governing the relationship between the public institutions of a state. ... Britain is exceptional, as it carries no single document with a written constitution as the constitution is partly written but uncodified. The purpose of the constitution is to set limits and powers of Government through law and their relation to the rights and duties of the ordinary citizen. ... What does ‘Parliamentary sovereignty’ mean? ... The Human Rights Act is seen as a fundamental piece of constitution than any other law. ... To what extent is British government becoming more ‘prime ministerial’? ...
Although it could be said that our current government is becoming more prime ministerial as Britain tends to lack a written constitution, so it is possible for the PM to go against the constitution without actually breaking any laws, as technically he could just argue no written constitution exits.
