Theme VII: “Should the uk have a fully written, codified and entrenched Constitution?” Stages of Implementing

1. Begin with the point that the constitution of the United Kingdom is said to be uncodified. That is, its constitution is not in a single, written document, but is drawn from legislation many hundreds of years old, judicial precedents, convention, and numerous other sources. This means that the British constitution is an ever-changing one, and so is said to be fluid. The way in which the British constitution has developed, comes from centuries of conflict between the monarchy, the aristocracy, religious institutions, and of course the British people.

2. Figure out advantages and disadvantages of the UK constitution.

3. Compare the UK system of government with USA.

4. Figure out how the British constitution protects civil liberties.

5. Explore how the UK constitution produces stable, effective government.

6. Consider why the UK conventions lack legal force in the way that here is no clear separation of powers in the British constitution.

7. Figure out about the lack of democracy in Britain pointing out that the lords in UK are unelected. Many of the lords last ten years had given money to the Labour party. Head of State is also unelected. The reform of the Lords will be decided by the executive.

8. Compare executive power in UK with USA executive power.

9. Figure out about the lack of knowledge amongst population about the British constitution pointing out that British people do not know about their constitution. They do not know what exactly it is.

10. Finally in your project, prove that the UK constitution is full of advantages and disadvantages.
