An Introduction to Constitutional Law (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780198762546)

This introduction discusses the general principles of the United Kingdom constitution from a critical, comparative perspective. It emphasizes the principal characteristics of this uncodified constitution, contrasting it with the documentary constitutions of the United States, France, and Germany. There are fewer checks of the power of government in the UK than there are under those constitutions, where courts may review the constitutionality of legislation.
