UK constitution – does the UK have a constitution?


DOES THE UK HAVE A CONSTITUTION???

DOES THE UK HAVE A The vast majority of states have a ‘written’ or ‘codified’
CONSTITUTION??? constitution, but the UK does NOT

Question is does the UK have no constitution???

ARGUMENT FOR NO Ridley describes the argument for the UK having no

these rules

 there is ‘no single document that describes…or
regulates the structures of the state’
 it says that instead ‘the constitutional order has
