  1. It is the supreme form of law and can change any previous common law or conventionCevap

  3. C
    It remains invalid until it is formally added to the UK's single written constitution
  4. D
    It grants the Monarch the absolute right to amend the law without further Parliamentary approval

Cevap

It is the supreme form of law and can change any previous common law or convention
Statute Law, which consists of Acts of Parliament, is the highest form of law in the UK. Because Parliament is sovereign, an Act that has received Royal Assent can change, replace, or overrule any other source of the constitution, including historical traditions (conventions) or court-made rules (common law).
