Royal Commission on the Constitution

The Royal Commission on the Constitution was an official inquiry established in 1969 by the British government to examine the structure and functioning of the United Kingdom's government and its relationship with Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It aimed to assess how power was distributed and to explore reforms that could make governance more effective, transparent, and responsive. The commission's findings influenced debates on devolution and regional autonomy, leading to significant political and constitutional changes in subsequent years that affected the organization of the UK’s constituent nations.
