It is drawn from several sources and retains the main components that it has developed over three centuries. Although little debated in the years between 1945 and 1970, it has been the subject of dispute \u2013 and of change \u2013 in the years since. Proponents of reform have argued that existing constitutional arrangements have not proved adequate to meet the political and economic challenges faced by the United Kingdom. They have pressed for reform, and various approaches to change have developed. Debate has polarised around two approaches: the liberal, favouring a new constitutional settlement for the United Kingdom, and the traditional, favouring retention of the principal components of the existing constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constitution has undergone significant change as a result of British membership of the EC\/EU and of reforms undertaken by successive governments after 1997. The constitution had difficulty acclimatising to membership of the EC\/EU. The referendum vote in 2016 to withdraw from the EU, after more than 40 years of membership, then generated major constitutional challenges of its own. The juridical dimension of the constitution has been strengthened as a result of the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into British law. It has also been strengthened by the devolving of powers to elected bodies in different parts of the UK, the courts acting in effect as constitutional courts for the devolved bodies; and by the creation of a supreme court. Devolution has seen some powers pass to elected bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The consequence of these changes has been to change the contours of the traditional, or Westminster, system of government, although not destroying the system altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constitution remains a subject of political controversy, posing problems for each of the main political parties. Governments this century have pursued change but have done so on a pragmatic basis, embracing no coherent approach to change. The British constitution has changed significantly in recent years and continues to be the subject of demands for further change, but its future shape remains unclear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-learning-objectives\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list numbered-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;To identify the sources and key components of the British constitution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To analyse the nature of the debate about the British constitution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To consider the major changes and modifications made to the constitution in recent years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To detail the arguments for and against some of the major changes that have taken place or are proposed to the constitution, including electoral reform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To address the problems faced by political parties as a consequence of constitutional change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-quizzes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quizzes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Test your knowledge with the Chapter 14 quizzes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-vertical is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-431b1423 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f1f5f6;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-88e6e8d950154e686fb280ac585ef07b has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2a973b5d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:-25px;margin-bottom:-25px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-quiz\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-extra-small-font-size\">Quiz<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><script>\n                            if (window.qmn_quiz_data === undefined) {\n                                    window.qmn_quiz_data = new Object();\n                            }\n                    <\/script><script>window.qmn_quiz_data[\"18\"] = {\"quiz_id\":\"18\",\"quiz_name\":\"Chapter 14\",\"disable_answer\":0,\"ajax_show_correct\":0,\"progress_bar\":\"1\",\"contact_info_location\":0,\"qpages\":{\"1\":{\"id\":\"1\",\"quizID\":\"18\",\"pagekey\":\"trH7wBNJ\",\"hide_prevbtn\":\"0\"}},\"skip_validation_time_expire\":0,\"timer_limit_val\":0,\"disable_scroll_next_previous_click\":0,\"disable_scroll_on_result\":0,\"disable_first_page\":0,\"enable_result_after_timer_end\":0,\"enable_quick_result_mc\":0,\"end_quiz_if_wrong\":0,\"form_disable_autofill\":0,\"disable_mathjax\":0,\"enable_quick_correct_answer_info\":\"0\",\"quick_result_correct_answer_text\":\"Correct!
