As far as I know in 1688 in a statement of mans rights was declared. This
assembled the common law in one document. In 1699 Parliament adopted the
document as a bill which then became an act of parliament. So we do have a
written constitution.
I have had very little response to my suggestion to serve an affidavit on the
speaker requiring him to obey our constitution. I'm not going to put my life at
risk by being part of a small group doing this. It needs many to do it
simultaneously.

Subject: 1689 Bill of Rights?
Many people put forward the 1689 Bill of Rights as something of great
importance (some even saying it is part of our 'Constitution')
This has always puzzled me.
I would be grateful if someone better educated than me on the subject could
explain the following.
As I understand it, a 'BILL' is no more than a proposal, or set of proposals,
which is put before Parliament for debate & consideration, followed by a vote.
Only if a majority vote in favour does it becomes an 'ACT', & thus become LAW.
It is not my intention or wish to start an argument, but simply a request, in
the hope that someone will be able to resolve my puzzlement.
