Unwritten_constitution

An unwritten constitution is a constitution made by means of many laws passed over time to decide how things are run in the government.

Unwritten laws that the people running the government must abide to, to make it a formal government.

The following countries can be considered to not have a written constitution:

• United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: no official constitution was ever written down, because the political system evolved over time, rather than being changed suddenly in an event such as a revolution. See Constitution of the United Kingdom.
• New Zealand: see Constitution of New Zealand.
• Israel: the declaration of independence promised a constitution by 1 October 1948, but due to unreconcilable differences in the Knesset, no complete constitution has been written yet. There are several Basic Laws, however.
