Constitutional History of the Uk

Rating:
Summary: A good start
Review: This is a good book for forming a basis of understanding the development of the U.K.'s constitutional history. The book starts about the time of the Norman Conquest and ends in near present day times. At about 450 pages the book provides a great survey of the evolution of the UK's constitution, which is mostly unwritten and based on convention.
What this book does lack is the inclusion of developing philisopical ideologies through-out the times. these ideas not only shaped the rules of the various periods but formed a base to develop the laws of the day. Overall a very good read and a great place to start understanding the British constitutional system.
