The British Constitution

The Constitution of this country is incorporated in the Declaration of Rights 1688 and was embodied in the Bill of Rights of 1689 which still stands today and has full force of law. 

"I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, State or Potentate hath, or ought to have any Jurisdiction, Power, Superiority, Preeminence, or Authority Ecclesiastical, or Spiritual within this Realme – so help me God".

How can our Government ask Her Majesty the Queen to give Royal Assent to any bill which is contrary to the Constitution of this country?

"The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defence are the constitutional rights secure." "No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong." -  Albert Einstein

Today the European Union leaders signed the Lisbon Treaty. This treaty gives the EU the constitutional form of a state. These are the ten most important things the Lisbon Treaty does:  Click on them for more information

1. It establishes a legally new European Union in the constitutional form of a supranational European State.

2. It empowers this new European Union to act as a State vis-a-vis other States and its own citizens.

3. It makes us all citizens of this new European Union.

4. To hide the enormity of the change, the same name - European Union - will be kept while the Lisbon Treaty changes fundamentally the legal and constitutional nature of the Union.

5. It creates a Union Parliament for the Union's new citizens.

6. It creates a Cabinet Government of the new Union.

7. It creates a new Union political President.

8. It creates a civil rights code for the new Union's citizens.

9. It makes national Parliaments subordinate to the new Union.

10. It gives the new Union self-empowerment powers.

11. Conclusion
