This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Make the British constitution a written one.

The British constitution is an unwritten constitution. It is made up of various principles and documents which are often difficult to find and hard to validate in the modern era, and thus it is hard for the average citizen to hold the Government to account. A written Constitution would fix this.
