every standard, every rule, all of it

2019-10-04 23:11:51 UTC  

Our constitution is not in any single document it is in a variety of sources, The US one isn't

2019-10-04 23:11:52 UTC  

inc. things outside of law, which is the part people call the unwritten stuff

2019-10-04 23:12:03 UTC  

Ours is uncodified

2019-10-04 23:12:11 UTC  

categorically you're wrong

2019-10-04 23:12:12 UTC  

There one is Codified

2019-10-04 23:12:31 UTC  

It's basic knowledge on the UK constitution

2019-10-04 23:12:50 UTC  

good, come back when you have more of an advanced understanding

2019-10-04 23:12:53 UTC  

then we can talk more

2019-10-04 23:13:08 UTC  

Just google UK constitution

2019-10-04 23:13:17 UTC  

fantastic

2019-10-04 23:13:31 UTC  

It will come up with writing on how it is Unwritten and Uncodified

2019-10-04 23:13:42 UTC  

but it is codified

2019-10-04 23:13:49 UTC  

And the US is the best example of a Codified Constitution

2019-10-04 23:13:53 UTC  

Where?

2019-10-04 23:13:57 UTC  

What single Document is it in?

2019-10-04 23:14:04 UTC  

Cite it to me

2019-10-04 23:14:06 UTC  

that's not what that means cunt

2019-10-04 23:14:58 UTC  

the first was the magna carta

2019-10-04 23:15:17 UTC  

then it evolved into the whole system

2019-10-04 23:15:24 UTC  

"Most of England's criminal laws have been codified, partly because this enables precision and certainty in prosecution. However, large areas of the common law, such as the law of contract and the law of tort remain remarkably untouched."

2019-10-04 23:15:32 UTC  

We don't use the Magna Carta anymore

2019-10-04 23:15:34 UTC  

We used to

2019-10-04 23:15:39 UTC  

Not anymore

2019-10-04 23:15:52 UTC  

wrong

2019-10-04 23:15:55 UTC  

I think JRM said it best, that the US Constitution is firm but rigid, the UK constitution is flexible but less durable. I'd rather be able to fix the problem and readjust.

2019-10-04 23:16:11 UTC  

the magna carta is still on the books

2019-10-04 23:16:14 UTC  

Rather than toss out the whole system because we're in a tight spot.

2019-10-04 23:16:24 UTC  

"The United Kingdom does not have a constitution
The UK has no written constitution. Nor does England have a constitution, neither written nor formulated. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries of the world that does not have a written constitution: it just has what is known as an "uncodified constitution".
Thus the only "British Constitution" that exists is a set of rules and regulations constituted by jurisprudence and laws (English and Scottish law), and by various treaties and international agreements to which the United Kingdom has signed up. This uncodified constitution has largely developed out of historic English law, since many of its founding principles and essential laws go back to charters and bills that were drawn up by the English parliament long before the creation of the United Kingdom. "

2019-10-04 23:16:57 UTC  

I'm going to ask you not use wikipedia

2019-10-04 23:17:00 UTC  

We use some of the Magna Carta

2019-10-04 23:17:09 UTC  

Not all of it

2019-10-04 23:17:21 UTC  

right so this statement is wrong
> We don't use the Magna Carta anymore

2019-10-04 23:17:24 UTC  

we do

2019-10-04 23:17:30 UTC  

it's still a part of our legal system

2019-10-04 23:17:34 UTC  

That wasn't wiki either

2019-10-04 23:17:40 UTC  

thank god

2019-10-04 23:17:49 UTC  

I used this

2019-10-04 23:18:18 UTC  

very reputable

2019-10-04 23:18:56 UTC  

Ok, Find me one source which says we have a codified constitution
