Solution

  • An unwritten constitution refers to a system of governance where the fundamental laws and principles are not contained in a single, formal written document. Instead, it is based on a combination of statutes, judicial decisions, conventions, and historical documents that have evolved over time.
  • Unlike written constitutions, an unwritten constitution is not drafted by a Constituent Assembly and does not have a codified form. The rules that govern the structure and functioning of the government develop gradually and are influenced by customs and traditions.
  • In an unwritten constitution, citizens may not have a single written document to refer to, but they follow the established practices and principles that guide governance. The United Kingdom is a prominent example of a country with an unwritten constitution, relying on laws, conventions, and judicial precedents for its governance.
