The United Kingdom does not have a written constitution as does, say, the United States of America and other countries.

The rights of UK citizens are protected by judgments in the Courts of Law (Common Law) and also laws passed by Acts of Parliament. This is a continuously developing process that provides "amendments" to citizens rights in a very dynamic way. The UK's unwritten Constitution is not particularly rigid.

As the UK is part of the European Union then protection under EU laws also gives rights such as The Human Rights Act.
