Problems with the British Constitution
Has produced an imperfect separation of powers, allowing the executive to exercise too much control over the legislative branch
Has produced an imperfect separation of powers, allowing the executive to exercise too much control over the legislative branch
The notion of the
Rule of Law may be breaking down e.g. many people cannot afford to go to court
The sovereignty
of Parliament is in doubt
The Constitution
is far too easy to amend by a government with a large majority in Parliament
The Constitution
still allows too many ‘relics’ of earlier times like the Lord Chancellor, the
House of Lords and the Monarchy
It has become a
messy mixture of written and unwritten elements
Because it is so
vague and uncodified it does not carry the obvious authority of some other
constitutions, such as that of the USA
