  • The British Constitution is uncodified meaning that it is not found in a single document - it is formed of hundreds of laws passed, unwritten conventions, and works of authority
  • The British constitution is unitary, meaning power is centralised due to the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and the Westminster government can do all that which is not impossible - Parliamentary Sovereignty applies to the Parliament of the day, meaning that Parliament cannot bind its successors - Brexit
  • The British Constitution operates under rule of law, subjecting everyone to the law - Magna Carta ensured the monarch was also subject to the law
