Scotland's Constitution

Scotland's constitution is a set of laws and principles that define how the country is governed. It is not a single document but a mixture of written laws, constitutional conventions, and traditions. The UK Parliament holds the power to make and change laws for Scotland, but Scotland also has its own devolved government with authority over areas like education, health, and housing. Key constitutional features include the Scotland Act 1998, which established the Scottish Parliament and government. Overall, Scotland's constitution balances its devolved powers with the broader sovereignty of the UK Parliament.
