That’s a question for the Law Lords, no doubt. My stab at the answer is that they go by historical precedent.

Sort of. There are various bit of legislation lying around from Magna Carta through the Bill of Rights and most recently from the European Union. We have made a half-hearted attempt from time to time to be fair. Most of which subsequently gets superseded. The annoying thing is, it seems to work.

Our state Supreme Court now meets in a new building called the “Hall of Justice”. I always thought it would make a great name for a superhero headquarters.

Am I being wooshed, or are you just too young or too old to remember the Superfriends?

Hall of Justice.

I picked up on that, as I was the first one to comment on it.

Ooh ooh, look at me, Mr. Big Man. Mr. “I don’t need no distinctly codified Constitution but rather rely principally on Common Law.” Aren’t I impressive.

I have never heard it referred to as being a constitution, even one not entirely written out, but rather a collection of law from various sources.

Too young, and not particularly big on Saturday morning cartoons anyway.

That’s interesting . . . I wonder why they decided to name a building after something in a cartoon . . .

Yea, as a fellow American, I must admit I was also surprised the first time I heard that they had a constitution. And even more confused when I was subsequently informed that it wasn’t entirely written down. Sorta.

Just thought I’d mention that wiki has a good explanation of constitutions in general, including a section on “Uncodified Constitutions”.
