Abstract

This paper included an analysis and a deep reading of the implications of the rule of law in the various documents of the British constitution, as the British constitution is one of the constitutions that are not codified in a single document, an "Uncodified Constitution." Still, it is written, in contrast to what is rumored by mistake, that it is a "Customary Constitution," starting from The first constitutional document in the form known today, called the "Magna Carta," and the subsequent documents.

This paper also attempted to highlight the dimensions of the principle of the rule of law and its components in England by examining the jurisprudence of British constitutional law based on the writings of professors and philosophers of constitutional law in England, such as Sir William Blackstone, as well as the famous professor of constitutional law Dicey. In this paper, many rulings of the British judiciary were exposed, especially what the House of Lords issued and how these opinions and judgments were reflected in the documents that make up the British constitution.

This paper also highlighted the components of the principle of the rule of law in England, which were affected by many countries such as France and the United States of America, and this was reflected in the declarations of rights and the constitutions of these countries, which was also greatly reflected in the constitutions of other countries that take the systems and constitutions of these countries as their reference, such as Egypt, which was also dealt with.
