Life in the UK Chapter V Test 4
What is the term for a set of principles by which a country is governed, including the institutions responsible for running the country and how their power is kept in check?
Correct Answer: Constitution
A constitution is a set of principles by which a country is governed, defining its institutions and how their power is kept in check.
The UK's constitution is uncodified — unlike most countries, it is not contained in a single written document but drawn from statutes, conventions, and court judgements.
