Solution
The United Kingdom is indeed the most prominent example of a country with an unwritten constitution. The UK constitution is not contained in a single, formal written document but consists of statutes, common law, conventions, and treaties that have developed over centuries.
Yes, rigidity is generally inherent in a federal constitution. This is because:
- A federal constitution is based on a division of powers between the central and state governments.
- Changes to this structure require the consent of both levels of government.
- Therefore, federal constitutions often have a rigid amendment process, making them harder to change than unitary constitutions.
