Description
The Common Law Constitution by John Laws The constitution of the United Kingdom is often seen as a complex and multifaceted system, but at its core, it is based on the common law. In this book, Sir John Laws explores the role of the common law in shaping the British constitution and its enduring impact on the country's governance. Laws examines the constitutional balance between law and government, and argues that the common law has provided the British State with profoundly beneficial effects. He also considers two contemporary threats to this balance: the rise of extremism and the influence of European laws on the domestic English system.
