Countries typically have either a written constitution, an unwritten constitution, or a combination of both. The UK is often cited as an example of a country with an unwritten constitution, primarily based on statutes, conventions, and legal precedents. However, some countries may have written constitutions that include unwritten elements or rely on customary practices. Overall, the concept of having both written and unwritten aspects is more about the flexibility of constitutional frameworks rather than a specific number of countries.

The Roman constitution, characterized by a series of unwritten customs and traditions, allowed for more fluidity and adaptation over time, making it generally easier to change through political consensus and practice. In contrast, the U.S. Constitution has a formal amendment process that requires supermajority approval in Congress and ratification by the states, making it more challenging to amend.
