9 - UK CONSTITUTION

Definition of  a Codified and Uncodified Constitution: 


A codified constitution where the fundamental or basic laws establishing the framework of government are written down, with the major duties, powers and functions of the institutions of government and the rights and duties of individuals codified.

An uncodified constitution is a type of constitution where the fundamental rules often take the form of customs, usage, precedent and a variety of statutes and legal instruments.

The difference between a codified and uncodified constitution is quite simple. Codified means the constitution is written down in a single document. The US constitution is codified. An uncodified constitution just means it's not written down in one single document; the constitution could be found in many documents or even not written down- this is called a convention- where it's just tradition that gives a law it's power.
