Great Britain is a monarchv, but the Queen of Great Britain is not absolute, but constitutional. Her powers are limited by •Parliament. But the power is hereditary, and not elective.

The power of the monopolists over the Parliamentary government in Britain is achieved in three main ways: f) by direct representation in Parliament by businessmen and by politicians supporting businessmen; 2) by direct influence over the Cabinet, the supreme organ of the British Government which controls Parliament; and 3) by initiation, control and amendment of legislation in which they are interested.

("The British Political Svstem" by J.Gollan)

The bodies of government in the United Kingdom are: those of the legislature, which consists of the Queen in Parliament and is the supreme authority of the country; those of the executive and those of the judiciary.

The executive bodies consist of I) the Cabinet and other ministers of the Crown who are responsible for directing national policv; 2) govern• ment departments. who are responsible for administration at the national level; 3) local authorities who administer and control many services at the local level; and 4) statutory boards, who are responsible for the operation of particular nationalized industries or public services. The highest judicial body in the English judicial svstem is the House of Lords.

The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the party that has a majoritv in the House of Commons. The Prime Minister usually takes policy decisions with the agreement of his Cabinet (a committee of leading Ministers). Each new Prime Minister may make changes in the size of his Cabinet and may create new ministries or make other changes. The Prime Minister holds Cabinet meetings at his (her) house at number 1 0 Downing Street, which is very near the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.

"Outlines of Constitutional Law"

(after Chalmers and Asquith's)

To understand English constitutional law it is necessary to study numerous documents, including constiLutional treaties like the Bill of Rights, various slatutes and judicial decisions and others. But the whole Of the Constitution of Britain will not be found in any of these documents. The English constitution, though partly written, is yet to be regarded as 'unwritten" from the standpoint of constitutiona] lawyers, as it is not codified as a whole in any particular document or documents. The English Constitution is considered to be flexible because Parliament can "make or unmake" any law' by the same procedure and with the same ease.

The Constitution is not the source of the law, but the law gives birth to the Constitution.

Though the King (Queen) is the nominal Sovereign, any particular

Parliament during the period of its existence is legally supreme.

In England the rights of the subject are mostly deduced from actual decisions in which remedies have been afforded fòr their invasion. Thus it is sometimes said that under the English Constitution the remedy precedes the right.

In administering justice the Judzes enjoy little arbitrary power, The law which they administer is defined bv statutes and other documents having statutorv validity", and by judicial precedents.

Theory and practice concerning English constitutional law are divergent. as it is seen from the (Ol'owing illustrations:

1. In theory the Sovereign is to be an active party to the making of laws. but in practice he has a shadowy veto.

2. In theorv every Lord of Parliament is a Judge of the House of Lords, entitled to take part in appeals from the lower Courts; in practice he always absents himself unless qualified by statute to sit there as one of the quorum'".

3. [n theory certain persons (e.g. Lord Mayor) are invested with judicial powers at trials in the Central Criminal Court, but in practice they don't take part in judicial work lherc.

4. In theory certaifl public departments are supposed to bc controlled by boards consisting of various high officials (e.g. the Board of Trade), but the real head is a single Minister of the Crown (e.g. the President of the Board of Trade).

5. Finally, Legislature and Executive are joined toaether by a connecting chain — the Cabinet.

Certain important Conventions control the entire working 01 the Constitution. These Conventions relate to the duties of the King as a person. the duties of the Ministers of the Crown and so on. Differences between the English and American Constitutions:

l. In America the President is in practice tnore of a ruler than the English King but his legal are more restricted

2. The President can veto legislation, and the English King has legaily an absolute but in practice a verv shadowv power of veto which has not been exercised since long times,

3. The English Constitution is flexible, the American

England all laws can be altered with ease, and in America complicated machinery is necessaty for the alteration of the Constitution.

4. The American Constitution is written: the English Constitution is unwri tten.

5. The English Crown is inherited; the American President is elected fòr a term.

6. The American President is not dependent on the vote of the Congress; in England the Cabinet is dependent on the vote of the House of Commons. In America, therefore, the Executive is not responsible to the Legislature. England is the only country possessing hereditary legislators. Notes:

I am a first-year student. In fact know too little about the English constitutional law. And L td like to know more about it.

If you want to have an idea-of the English constitutional law, you should study numerous documents, in eluding constitutional treaties like thc Bill of Rights, various statutes, judicial decisions and others.

Oh, realty? And is it codified in any particular document?

No S'Rh thing. The English Constitution is to be regarded as unwritten".

— The English Constitution is flexible. How can it be explained?

It is because Parliament can easily "make or unmake any lau•'. Then, the rights of the subject are mostly deduced from actual decisions in which remedies have been afforded for their invasion,

Thus we may say that under the English Constitution the remedy precedes the right.

That's true. The history of many lawful decisions illustrates this saying.

111. I've heard legal status of the subject says that all men in Eng-

land (the King excepted) are equal in the eve of the law. And what occurs in practice?

You sec, in practice there are rnanv restrictions of the rights. For example, it depends on the position which a person

, occupies. In other words it greatlv depends on the amount of money the person bas.

And what about personal freedom of the subject?

Thev sav that under their Constitution libertv doesn't need to invoke (B3blBaTb K...) the authority of anv formal wrillen law. Every man is supposed 10 do what he will except the law otherwise provides.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES

We the People of the States. in Order 10 form a more perfect Union, establish Justice. ensure domestic Tranquilitv. provide fòr the common defence. promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posteritv, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Ex 18. Read and speak on:

US CONSTITUTION

The US Constitution is the framework of our government. It establishes the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It is also the supreme law ol' the land, which all public officials are bound bv oath to enforce. N:loreover, the Constitution guarantees each American certain basic

One remarkable tèature of our is its endurance. It is the oldest written national constitution In use in the world. Another remarkable feature of the Constitution is its ability to adapt itself to changing conditions.

Our founding fathers knew that the Constitution might have to be changed. So they provided two methods of proposing amendments: bv a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a national convention called by Congress at the request of the legislatures in two-thirds of the states. Once proposed, an amendment does not take effect unless it is rati-

fled either by the legislatures in three-tburths of the states or by special ratifying conventions in three-fourths or the states.

The original Constitution, adopted in 1787, contained onlv a tèw provisions guaranteeing individual rights. However, citizens pressured their leaders to add a Bill of Rights. In response, the first amendments were adopted by Congress in 1791 and then quickly ratified by the states.

These first 10 amendments contain most of our basic rights. The First Amendment protects the freedoms oc religion, speech. press, assembly, and petition. The Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms. The Third Amendment protects against quartering of soldiers in private homes, and the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

The Fifth Amendment provides a right to due process of law and gives rights to accused people, including protection against selfincrimination. The sixth Amendment provides the rights to a lawver, an impartial jury, and a speedy trial in criminal cases.

The Seventh Amendment provides for jury trials in civil cases.

The Eighth Amendment bars cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail or fines. The Ninth Amendment declares that the rights spelled out in the Constitution are not all the rights that people have. Finally, the Tenth Amendment reserves to the states and the people any powers not belonging to the federal government. (The full text of all 26 amendments can be found in Appendix A.)

The Bill of Rights was designed to protect Americans against the power of the fëderal government. Nothing in the Constitution specifically requires state governments to abide bv the Bill of Riohts. But in interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment, passed after the Civil War, the Supreme Court has extended most Bill of Rights protections to the states,

In addition to the Bill of Rights, later amendtnents provide other important rights. The Thirteenth Amendment forbids slavery and outlaws involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime. The Fourteenth Amendment requires equal protection of the laws for all citizens. It also provides that no state can deprive any citizen of life, liberty, or property without due process of law'.

Several amendments protect and broaden the right to vote. The Fit: teenth Amendment forbids denying the right to vote based on race or color. The Nineteenth Amendment gives women the right to vote. The Twentv„fourth Amendment gives citizens of Washington D.C. the right to vote in presidental elections, and the Twenty-sixth Amendments gives all people 18 years of age or older the right to vote.
