An appreciation of the development and evolution of the United
Kingdom constitution is vital in order to understand the existing
nature of the constitution, proposals for reform and the many
complex challenges it faces. Ann Lyon presents a vivid overview of
fourteen hundred years of English legal history taking us on a rich
journey from a feudal society to the fractured Union of the present
day. Drawing on key constitutional themes, Constitutional History
of the United Kingdom provides insight and context to modern
constitutional problems. This second edition has been revised and
updated to bring coverage up to the present day, including
parliamentary reform; the Scottish referendum on independence and
further drives for enhanced devolution; the effect of EU membership
on the UK Constitution; and the impact of the European Convention
on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998. Constitutional
History of the United Kingdom offers an accessible and highly
valuable overview for students with little or no prior knowledge of
British history.
