then we can talk more
Just google UK constitution
fantastic
It will come up with writing on how it is Unwritten and Uncodified
but it is codified
And the US is the best example of a Codified Constitution
Where?
What single Document is it in?
Cite it to me
that's not what that means cunt
the first was the magna carta
then it evolved into the whole system
"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."
We don't use the Magna Carta anymore
We used to
Not anymore
wrong
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.
the magna carta is still on the books
Rather than toss out the whole system because we're in a tight spot.
"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. "
I'm going to ask you not use wikipedia
We use some of the Magna Carta
Not all of it
right so this statement is wrong
> We don't use the Magna Carta anymore
we do
it's still a part of our legal system
That wasn't wiki either
thank god
I used this
very reputable
Ok, Find me one source which says we have a codified constitution
I said it was written
and it is
our constitution isn't a single document
it's the body of work
the whole thing
You did also say it was codifed.
