How the unwritten constitution provides greater access to human rights.
This dissertation looks at the correlation between greater access to human rights and the use of unwritten constitutions. Unwritten constitutions allow the continuing and fluid development of human rights to accommodate society’s changing views on moral and ethical issues. This dissertation will contrast countries with written constitutions (such as the United States) with the UK’s unwritten constitution and look at how the development of human rights has occurred. The constitutional right to bear arms, for example, has arguably resulted in the limitation of the human rights of the Columbine victims. Do the rigid constructs of written constitutions result in the limitations of others human rights?
