WAEC - Government (2001 - No. 15)
Which of following statements best describes an unwritten constitution?
The legislature is always unicameral
The source of the constitution is supreme court verdicts
There are no limitations on the powers of government
The body of rules and laws cannot all be found in a single document
Explanation
An unwritten constitution is not contained in a single written document. Instead, it consists of a collection of laws, customs, practices and precedents that have developed over time. These rules can include statutes, judicial decisions and conventions, which together form the constitutional framework of a country. The United Kingdom is a prime example of a country with an unwritten constitution, as much of its constitutional framework is based on tradition and legal precedents rather than a single written document.
