Cevap

The UK constitution is uncodified, meaning it is drawn from various sources including Statute Law, common law, and constitutional conventions.
The UK constitution is described as 'unwritten' because it is uncodified. This means it is not contained in a single book or document. Instead, it is made up of several different sources: Statute Law (laws passed by Parliament), common law (laws developed by judges through history), and constitutional conventions (traditional practices that are followed by the government).
