Is the UK constitution evolving into a legal constitution?

Overall summary

Political constitution: those exercising power are held to account primarily through political processes (e.g. ministerial responsibility) and in political institutions (e.g. Parliament). Legal constitution: those exercising power are held to account to a substantial and increasing extent via legal process (e.g. judicial review) and in judicial institutions (e.g. the courts). Constitutional monarchy: Monarchy as the head of state within the parameters of the constitution (as opposed to an absolute monarchy in which the monarch is not bound by the constitution).
