Rejected petition Creation of a British Constitution

More details

This petition advocates the replacement of the current "unwritten constitution" with a British constitution to be voted on by a public referendum, which would act as the highest legal authority and enshrine the fundamental rights of its citizens.

Any subsequent changes to the constitution could only take place with the consent of the majority of the country's citizens in a referendum.
