Constitutional Unionists are members of a political party in the United Kingdom that emerged in the mid-19th century, primarily focusing on preserving the Union of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. They aimed to uphold the Constitution and maintain stability amid rising tensions over issues like Irish Home Rule and the expansion of the suffrage. The party attracted moderate conservatives and those who sought to avoid the divisive politics of the time, particularly regarding the Irish question. In contemporary contexts, the term can also refer to individuals or groups advocating for the maintenance of the constitutional framework of the UK.
