Finding the Constitution

Bag om Finding the Constitution

Finding the Constitution is a detailed and highly readable account of English constitutional history. It examines the gripping story of the origins of the nation's system of government and asks whether there was a common law Constitution and where surviving institutions came from. In seventeen, easily searchable, parts the reader is introduced to customary law, statute law, conventions, Indo-European roots, the coming together of thirty-nine nations across the island, the effects of the Norman invasion, feudal emancipation, the Reformation, colonialism and the emergence of the parliamentary party system right up to Brexit. Perhaps the most important conclusion of this book is that, given how the current system of government does not accord with the Constitution in common law, which overrides statute law and was never rescinded by the people, it must still be the law of the land.
