The status of the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty in the
contemporary UK Constitution is much contested. Changes in the
architecture of the UK Constitution, diminishing academic reverence
for the doctrine, and a more expansive vision of the judicial role,
all present challenges to the relevance, coherence and desirability
of this constitutional fundamental. At a time when the future of
the sovereignty of Parliament may look less than assured, this book
develops an account of the continuing significance of the doctrine.
It argues that a rejuvenation of the manner and form theory is
required to understand the present status of parliamentary
sovereignty. Addressing the critical challenges to the doctrine, it
contends that this conception of legally unlimited legislative
power provides the best explanation of contemporary developments in
UK constitutional practice, while also possessing a normative
appeal that has previously been unrecognised. This modern shift to
the manner and form theory is located in an account of the
democratic virtue of parliamentary sovereignty, with the book
seeking to demonstrate the potential that exists for Parliament -
through legislating about the legislative process - to revitalise
the UK's political constitution.
