Unwritten Constitution

The unwritten constitution refers to established customs, practices, and principles that guide a country's government but are not formalized in a single written document like a traditional constitution. In the UK, for example, it includes traditions like the monarch’s limited role and parliamentary procedures. These conventions shape how laws are made and government operates, even though they are not legally enforceable. The unwritten constitution provides flexibility and reflects historical practices, but it relies on societal trust and adherence rather than formal legal codes.
