What is the Constitutional Framework?

The British constitution is only partly written. Its basic sources are parliamentary and European Union legislation, the European Convention on Human Rights, and decisions by courts of law. Matters for which there is no formal law, such as the resignation of office by a government, follow precedents (conventions) that are open to development or modification. Works of authority, such as Albert Venn Dicey’s Lectures Introductory to the Study o f the Law o f the Constitution (1885), are also considered part of the constitution.In short, the British constitution is not written in any single document. It is made up of statute law, common law and conventions. It is more flexible than the written constitution of other countries.
