Beschreibung

The fundamental legal and institutional changes of recent decades have brought the English constitution into question. Accompanying issues have been the extent to which its traditional character and main features have been changed, lost their former appeal or retained their distinctness in the European Union. These issues are not readily addressed in everyday thinking about a constitution simply conceived as unwritten or in constitutional accounts preoccupied with analysis, politics or transcendent norms. The English Historical Constitution addresses these issues by developing a historical constitutional approach and thus elaborating on continuity and change in the constitution's main doctrines and institutions. From an English legal perspective, it offers a complement or corrective to analytical, political and normative approaches by reforming an old conception of the historical constitution and its history, partly obscured and long neglected through the modern analytical preoccupation with its law as an abstract scheme of rules, principles and practices.

Zusammenfassung

The English Historical Constitution advocates an historical constitutional approach to assessing the many recent constitutional reforms and the impact of European Community law's development upon English constitutional law. In response to the simplistic everyday conception of the unwritten constitution and to the limitations of current analytical, political and normative legal approaches, it revives the old conception of the historical constitution by reforming the role and understanding of its history. It elaborates upon the basic doctrines and institutions of a constitution that is both peculiarly English and thoroughly European.
