About this Event

Recently, the UK has gotten into a muddle over Scottish independence and Brexit. This lecture considers what we can learn from the US, which took much of its system from the theory behind the UK structure: the King as the Executive, a Legislature made up of the House of Commons balanced by the House of Lords, and the judiciary.

It asks questions such as, what role should the judiciary play? Have the British got confused about the notion of ‘Parliamentary Supremacy’, deciding that this meant that Parliament was supreme not just to the King, but to the judiciary too?

A lecture by  Professor Clive Stafford-Smith
