***but not just legal processes – when its law relating to the
government and political system there is a lot of overlap as the
law creates the political system, so we need to look at how this
shapes this and when we do not want the law involved in politics
such as in Miller No 2
In the UK, the law which creates and regulates also
empowers and controls the institutions and processes of
government
Dual dimension to constitutional law as it creates a
political system and gives us powers to do things
collectively and at the same time as creating and
impowering it, it has to create limits and accountability to
that power
