Constitutional Government in Great Britain
In the case study, the UK constitution is Unique because the laws are unwritten. However, the law of the Great Britain has the following roles.
• The constitution identifies the rights of the citizens and the responsibilities of the state. In the constitution, the teenagers of age above 18 have a voting right.

The case study identifies the sources of UK constitution, which includes the decisions of the judicial, the act of the parliament and conventions. The use of conventions as the source of the conventions in the UK makes the UK different from other democratic countries (Leyland, 2016). For examples, it is clear that Judges never indulges in politics of the country.
There are three principles that underlie the unwritten constitution of the UK. The three principles include:
• The rule of laws
• Supremacy of Parliament
• Separations of powers

For example, the parliament is the highest in ranks and is the source of the law.

Leadership and Culture With the UK’s recent vote to exit the EU, also known as “Brexit,” the individualistic culture of the United Kingdom was on full display. Just as the UK had voted to hold on to the usage of its own currency in the 1990s though other European nations were banding together to use the Euro, the UK was once more in the 21st century demonstrating its own individuality and
