> Historically, "No Act of Parliament can be unconstitutional, for the law of the land knows not the word or the idea."[3]
Since the Glorious Revolution in 1688, the bedrock of the British constitution has traditionally been the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty, according to which the statutes passed by Parliament are the UK's supreme and final source of law.[4] It follows that Parliament can change the constitution simply by passing new Acts of Parliament.
So, basically no, it doesn't have a constitution analogous to the US Constitution.
- twoodfin 13y agoI understand the distinction you're trying to draw, but a constitution that can be changed more readily than the U.S. Constitution is still a constitution.
- argumentum 13y agoBut it's less of one.
