About this item
Linda Colley explains about the British Charter.
Britain, it is often claimed, is the world's only democracy without a written constitution. Yet, historically, Britain has influenced the writing of constitutions in other countries more than anywhere else on the globe. Linda Colley examines this paradox, and discusses how, why and when the notion of Britain's own "unwritten constitution" evolved.
