正在編輯用戶:Politics Notes on the UK Constitution （章節）

=== Weakness ===
*'''Outdated and undemocratic'''
**Key elements date back to mediaeval times (Common Law)
**Hard to justify the hereditary principle in a liberal democratic state (Lords)
*'''Concentration of Power'''
**Power is '''concentrated dangerously''' at the centre
**There are '''few safeguards''' against the arbitrary exercise of state power
**Parliamentary sovereignty and the absence of a codified constitution
***Mean that even the key tenets of the rule of law are '''not fully protected'''
**A government with a strong majority can force through the legislation
***Undermining civil liberties+Weakening other institutions
**Neither local nor subnational government has constitutionally protected status
*'''Lack of clarity'''
**The uncodified nature creates problems of clarity and interpretation
**It is not always immediately clear where a government has acted unconstitutionally
**Parliament controlled by the government of the day
***Is the final arbiter of the constitution
**The government can even use its control of the legislature
***to pass new Acts that overturn unfavourable rulings in the courts
***Making it difficult for citizens to engage with the System
