Cevap
An Act of Parliament is created when a Bill is passed by both Houses of Parliament and receives Royal Assent, and it can override other sources of the constitution.
The statement describing the passage of a Bill through both Houses and receiving Royal Assent is correct because it accurately reflects the UK's legislative process. Furthermore, under the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, Statute Law is the supreme source of the constitution and has the power to override common law or conventions.
