Konstitusi Britania Raya

Konstitusi Britania Raya mencakup susunan tertulis dan tidak tertulis yang membentuk Kerajaan Bersatu Britania Raya dan Irlandia Utara sebagai badan politik. Konstitusi tersebut melingkupi hubungan antar individual dan negara, dan memfungsikan legislatif, eksekutif dan yudikatif.

Inggris tak memiliki dokumen konstitusional spesifik. Meskipun demikian, konstitusi Inggris ditemukan dalam berbagai sumber tertulis dan beberapa tak tertulis (disebut sebagai konstitusi tak tertulis).^[1] Konstitusi Inggris biasanya dirumuskan dari empat sumber, yakni hukum statuta (hukum yang disahkan oleh legislatif), hukum umum (hukum yang dibuat melalui keputusan pengadilan), konvensi parlementer dan kerja otoritas.

Sejak Revolusi Glorious 1688, konsep kedaulatan parlementer telah menjadi sandaran konstitusi legislatif Inggris, yang merupakan statuta-statuta yang disahkan oleh Parlemen sebagai sumber hukum tertinggi dan final di Inggris.^[2]
