The English Constitution

What is England? What is Englands place in the United Kingdom or indeed outside it? How should England be governed? What constitutional foundations are needed to secure English democracy? In this ground-breaking book, Dr W. Elliot Bulmer makes the case for a written constitution for England. Informed by comparative constitutional scholarship and by practical experience of constitution-making around the world, the book ties together debates on English national identity with discussion on the constitutional future of England. It offers an English solution to the problem of the United Kingdoms constitutional disrepair and a constitutional solution to the problem of Englands identity crisis. Demonstrating that a written constitution both practical in the English context and compatible with the English constitutional tradition, the book includes an example draft constitution inspired by Westminster Model democracies in the Commonwealth. -- .
