Written Assignment

<p>Are the powers of the government unlimited? Can the UK Parliament really ban smoking on the streets of Paris? Is the rule of law a fiction? This module provides you with an introduction to key concepts, theories and research of the legal rules which govern how the state works.  Emphasis is placed on the law relating to the United Kingdom constitution, the legal framework in which the Government and Parliament operate, and the relationship of Her Majesty’s subjects to Governmental and regulatory actions and decisions.  As there is no single document which you can look up and read which says ‘The UK Constitution’ on the front, this module asks you to consider the question of whether the UK has a legal or political constitution and what that means for society.</p>
