British constitutional law

British constitutional law is the set of rules and principles that outline how the government functions and how power is distributed among institutions, primarily Parliament, the courts, and the monarchy. It is largely unwritten, relying on statutes, common law, conventions, and treaties. Key features include parliamentary sovereignty—where Parliament can make or change laws—and the rule of law, ensuring everyone, including those in power, is subject to the law. It balances tradition, legal frameworks, and democratic principles to maintain stability, accountability, and rights within the UK’s political system.
