This acclaimed book provides a topical and contextual outline of the principles,
doctrines and institutions that underpin the Lnited Kingdom constitution. The third
edition of The Constitution of the Lnited Kingdom has been comprehensively revised
and updated to take account of recent constitutional developments and debates.
This includes: the revised framework for devolution following the 2014 referendum
in Scotland, the constitutional ramifications of the realignment of L k politics
reflected in the result of the 2015 general election and the debate over the possible
replacement of the Human Rights Act 1098 w ith a British Bill of Rights.
The chapters are written in sufficient detail for anyone coming to the subject for
the first time to develop a clear and informed view- of how the constitution is
arranged and how it operates. The main themes include: discussion of the history,
sources and conventions of the constitution; later chapters deal w ith: constitutional
principles, the role of the Crown, Parliament and the electoral sy stem, government
and the executive, the constitutional role of courts including the protection of
human rights, the territorial distribution of power betw een central, devolved and
local government, and the European Union dimension. In addition, the book
offers analysis of the evolution of the uncodified UK constitution, its strengths and
perceived weaknesses, and of reforms aimed at its modernisation.
