USA comprises of the Bill of Rights, Patriot Act) The other type of constitution is an uncodified constituition. An uncodified constitution is a constitution that is made up of rules that are found in a variety of sources, in the absence of a single legal document or written constitution.Unlike codified constitution the constitution is not authoratative. Constitutional laws enjoy the same status as ordinary laws. Uncodified constitutions are also not entreched. The constitution can be changed through the normal processes for enacting statue law.

In the absence of higher law, judges do not have a legal standard against which they can declare that the actions of other bodies are considered constitutional or unconstitutional.(eg. UK - drawn from Magna Carta, HRA) Tareq273@yahoo.com

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.
What government in the UK decides if a law is constituntional?
The United Kingdom has an uncodified and unwritten constitution; strictly speaking, no law can be regarded as unconstitutional. Parliament has the power to change the law, including constitutional principles, easily and as it sees fit. This effectively means that if a law is passed, it is automatically considered constitutional, even if it goes against what was previously regarded as constitutional law. As such, the UK constitution is arguably the most heavily amended in the world.
