UK Constitution

In this video I look at the nature and sources of the UK Constitution, including: an overview of the development of the Constitution through key historical documents: Magna Carta (1215); Bill of Rights (1689); Act of Settlement (1701); Acts of Union (1707); Parliament Acts (1911 and 1949); European Communities Act (1972).
I also examine the nature of the UK Constitution (unentrenched, uncodified and unitary),and the ‘twin pillars’ of parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law. The video also includes the five main sources of the UK Constitution: statute law; common law; conventions; authoritative works, and treaties (including European Union law). Make sure you subscribe for notifications as I look to cover the whole A Level Politics course.

Not sure what it is about this seemingly simple section of the course but it has always stumped me. Took my time with this video and it has solved the issue at last, thank you so much! :)

Also I thought I'd look up what treaties the UK has signed for non Europe examples and came across International Convention for the Permanent Control of Outbreak Areas of the Red Locust (London, 22 February 1949) - easy one to remember!
