Threads

  • Politics, parliament and government

Description

In this unit pupils consider why we need a separation of powers and whether the current political structures are fit for purpose.

Building on earlier units on democracy and the UK political system, this unit further explores the nature of the British constitution. The unit provides critical insights into how the UK political system operates encouraging students to think critically about the pros and cons of the current system. Understanding the nature of the British constitution is essential learning for informed civic participation.

  2. Should parliamentary procedures be modernised?
  3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of an uncodified constitution?
