An Introduction to Constitutional Law by Barendt
This introduction discusses the general principles of the United Kingdom constitution from a critical, comparative perspective. It emphasizes the principal characteristics of this uncodified constitution, contrasting it with the documentary constitutions of the United States, France, and Germany. There are fewer checks of the power of government in the UK than there are under those constitutions, where courts may review the constitutionality of legislation.

Students of public law will find it an invaluable complimentary work to Peter Cane's established book on Administrative Law in the same Clarendon Law Series./Alastair Mowbray/C.J.Q., Vol 18, July, Sweet & Maxwell 1999.
