What is the importance of having a hand written law code?

A law code, is a systematic and comprehensive written statement of laws. In countries which have a civil law , a code exhaustively covers the complete system of law, such as civil law or criminal law. In a country which has common law, a code is a less common form of legislation, and it modifies a specific area of the existing common law. The importance of law codes is that they establish clear rules regarding matters such as property, inheritance, transactions, litigation, injuries, crime, etc.

Does the UK have a constitution?

== == 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.
