I would challenge you to test the principle of proactivity for thirty days. Simply try it and see what happens. For thirty days work only in your Circle of Influence. Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Notable events in the historical development of the British constitution

Kings and Queens tended to wield ‘absolute’ power in affairs of State prior to the seventeenth century. The turning point came with the English Civil War (1642–1648) and the battle between the Royalists (represented by the ‘Cavaliers’), who supported the monarch, King Charles I, and the Parliamentarians (represented by the ‘Roundheads’), led by Oliver Cromwell, who sought to challenge the monarch’s powers. In bringing the relationship between the powers of the monarch and Parliament to the fore, it was not long before a settlement was reached which sought to define the appropriate balance of these powers. This settlement resulted from the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688, in which King William III (William of Orange) agreed to a ‘bill of rights’ for the protection of individual rights and liberties, and parliamentary dominance over the monarchy was declared. After 1688, Parliament continued to gain power at the monarch’s expense, to the extent that the monarch is today a largely ceremonial figure with very limited powers (see further discussion of the Crown in this chapter). As for constitutional landmarks, the Magna Carta of 1215, signed by King John and the major feudal landowners, is still seen as a reference point for the protection of civil liberties. It required that every man accused of a crime should be given a fair trial and be judged by his peers, and that the legal system be free of bribery and corruption. These principles are of continuing relevance today. The right to a fair trial, for example, is now explicitly protected in law under the Human Rights Act 1998, a very recent landmark in the development of the British constitution. This Act brings many of the rights and freedoms laid down in the European Convention on Human Rights into English law. Other notable developments in history include the Act of Settlement 1701, which provided judges with freedom from interference by the other constitutional powers; and the widening of public participation in the political process, with the extension of certain voting rights to men in the nineteenth century and to women in the first half of the twentieth century, thus creating, over time, a parliamentary democracy. However, perhaps the most significant constitutional development of all has been the UK’s participation as a Member State of the European Community (EC) (now European Union, or EU) since 1973.

This has meant that the British constitution is subject to the exercise of powers and processes by a further set of institutions. EC law, which describes the law developed by the institutions of the European Union, is superior to English law, and there is little doubt that when the UK joined the EC it gave away aspects of its own parliamentary sovereignty (see Chapter 5). A constitutional question that remains contentious is whether the UK can, in any circumstances, withdraw from the European Union.
