Question

Would it be correct to classify constitutions into written and unwritten constitutions in absolute terms? Argue your case with relevant examples from UK.

Answer 1

No, it is not correct to classify constitutions into written and unwritten in absolute terms, even for the UK.

1. The UK has many written laws (e.g., Magna Carta, Bill of Rights) that form part of its constitution.
2. It also relies on unwritten conventions (e.g., the Prime Minister must be the majority leader).
3. Judicial decisions and Acts of Parliament add to its written framework.
