ABSTRACT
The UK does not have either a written constitution or one single document outlining a citizen’s rights and liberties. The rights and liberties of citizens in the UK are contained within a combination of Acts of Parliament that have been passed over the last eight centuries, common law traditions and unspoken conventions. Even the UK’s 1688 Bill of Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998 are just Acts of Parliament and do not have any special constitutional status.
