Overall comparisonAlthough on the surface the codified nature of the US Constitution seems to infer that it is rigid and inflexible in order to deter it from tyranny, under the surface it can be kept up to date and evolve through the times via Supreme Court rulings, like Obergefell v Hodges, which legalised same-sex marriage in America. Although the UK constitution is uncodified, many important acts are seen as impossible to remove, like devolution and the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949, meaning they can be called entrenched. It seems that they are therefore more similar than they appear on the surface. |
