"The UK's constitution is not written down in one single document. Instead, it is a collection of rules from various places, including laws passed by Parliament (statute law), decisions made by judges (common law), and unwritten traditions (conventions). A core principle of this system is 'parliamentary sovereignty', which means Parliament is the supreme legal authority in the UK. In theory, it can create or get rid of any law it wants. However, there are important checks and balances in place to prevent this power from becoming too dominant. For example, the high courts can use judicial review not to see if they agree with a decision, but to check whether it was made lawfully and fairly. Within Parliament itself, small groups of MPs from different parties form select committees. They act like 'watchdogs', scrutinising the work of government departments by holding inquiries and publishing reports with recommendations."
Question (6 marks): Using the source, explain how the power of the UK Parliament is kept in check.
One way Parliament's power is checked is through judicial review, where high courts check if a law was made 'lawfully and fairly.' This upholds the rule of law by ensuring the government is not above the law. It's conducted by the independent judiciary, which can declare government actions 'ultra vires' (beyond their legal power). A second check is select committees, which the source calls 'watchdogs.' These cross-party groups of MPs investigate government departments, for example, questioning ministers and publishing critical reports. This holds the government accountable to Parliament and the public. Finally, the UK's bicameral system provides a check, as the House of Lords revises and can delay legislation from the Commons. Its members, often experts, scrutinise bills in detail, preventing the government from passing laws without thorough consideration.

One way Parliament is kept in check is due to the fact it doesn't hold all power with one party in control of everything. For example it has a small groups of MPs within it that can scrutinise and recommend ideas brought to Parliament. This means that they can argue and debate things they feel are wrong what could lead to big debates held in Parliament.

In the UK, Parliament is kept in check by a series of checks & balances. One of these checks and balances is called Judicial review. High courts can use this to review whether or not they agree with a decision made by parliaments and debate if the law was lawful. If the decision is deemed unlawaful then the high courts can scrutinise the government. An example of this is when parliament passed a law about exams during covid. This case was taken to the supreme court where it was deemed unlawful & parliament retracted the law. Another way the government is kept in check is the groups within parliament that watch eachother & scrutinise their mistakes. These groups form select comitees that scrutinise the work of government departments by asking them questions & publishing reports with recomendations.

In addition, select committees which are small cross party groups of MPs, harshly scrutinize the work of government departments. This means that they can find flaws in the system, give reports and get change. Finally, parliamentary inquiries investigate the work of government departments and major events gather evidence and recommend change.
