To be a constitutional government you would need a constitution. ____________ The US has a famous constitution, even if its value and authority are eroding over time. It is a single document written for the express purpose of establishing a government based on the premise that governmental authority is derived from the consent of the governed, and ideally all other laws in the US are in line with constitutional principles. The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, and therefore a constitutional government. The monarch is head of state and has a number of functions. The monarch has a little more power and authority than is widely known, but wisely monarchs seldom use them. The system in the UK is different from the US system in that there is no single document that is considered 'the constitution'. But the UK holds to a system of laws (some of them truly ancient, and the basis for much law in western cultures) and processes that guarantee the orderly exercise of government under a law that protects all.

The United States government is a constitutional republic. The federal government is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the President, and the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, respectively. The British government is a constitutional monarch. The government is lead by a Prime Minister who chooses a other ministers. Parliament makes the decisions not the Queen or King even though ultimate authority lies with the monarch.
The states tried to retain control for themselves by leaving the central government practically powerless, but this caused problems between states. That is why the Articles of Confederation were abandoned and the Constitutional Convention called to create a more powerful federal government that balanced the authority of the states.
