== == No, England has no real constitution as the continental countries have. England's law system was based on the common law, no written law.
(common law: everyone knows this is the law, but there is no written proof that that IS indeed the law. Trough the times this law can be changed, altered,.. by new evolution in the citizen's world) The continental law system was based on civil law, thus Code Napoleon, Codex Julianus,... all written down laws. Though many think that the Magna Charta was THE basics of all constitutions, this is not true. This was mere a practical charter, not a real constitution.

Difference between the US Constitution and the Great Britain Constitution?
See links for interesting articles. The UK Constitution is not codified as is the US Constitution, but the basic concept is that of Parliamentary Supremacy. In other words, Constitutional law exists as a result of, and is therefore changed by, acts of Parliament. The US Constitution, in contrast, is codified. There are advantages to both systems. The UK system is more fluid, and it takes an immense effort for the US Constitution to be amended. On the other hand, the US Constitution gives direction and parameters to the branches of government, while also establishing the rights and powers of the states, and a mechanism to bring about the most far-reaching changes with as little disruption as possible.
