The Constitution (UK)

The Constitution of the United Kingdom is an unwritten collection of principles, laws, and conventions that govern the country. Unlike many nations, the UK does not have a single document that outlines its constitution; instead, it is formed from various sources, including statutes (laws passed by Parliament), common law (court decisions), and historical documents (like the Magna Carta). It establishes the framework for government, the rights of citizens, and the relationship between different branches of authority. This flexible structure allows for changes and adaptations over time while maintaining stability in governance.
