ABSTRACT
By contrast, in the United Kingdom the Queen in Parliament (or Crown in Parliament) can in legal theory pass any law and the legislation which is enacted is not subject to judicial review by the courts. This is because Parliament has not historically been constrained by a higher set of legal rules enshrined in a written constitution. In other words, Acts of Parliament (unlike Acts of the United States Congress) could not be tested or questioned against an overriding codifi ed
QUOTATION ‘The British Constitution could thus be summed up in just eight words: “What the Queen in Parliament enacts is law”.’
