United Kingdom Constitution and Law System

The Constitution is the system of fundamental laws and principles that prescribes the nature, functions, and limits of a government or another institution

The Constitution of the United kingdom is uncodified , consisting of both written and unwritten sources

There is no technical difference between ordinary statutes and law considered " constitutional law ".

The Constitution is based on the concept of all sovereignty ultimately belonging to Parliament which is called Parlamentary sovereignty The lack of a central written constitutional document explaining the fundamental principles of the state and relationship between its institutions and the people , leads some constitutionalists to regard the United Kingdom as having "no constitution "

The phrase " unwritten constitution " is sometimes used , despite the fact that the United Kingdom Constitution incorporates many written sources , statutory law being considered the most important source of the Constitution
