Read the information below and then answer the question: What is special in the UK constitution?\nThe United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, which means that the powers of the monarch are limited by the country's constitution. The British constitution. unlike that of most other countries, is an unwritten constitution, not being contained in any single legal document. It is formed partly by statute law (Acts of Parliament) and important documents (such as Magna Carta), partly by common law (a series of laws dating back to the Middle Ages), and partly by customs and conventions and cab be altered by a simple Act of Parliament like any other law, The constitution thus is constantly changing in response to the interpretation of laws in the courts and the introduction of new Acts of Parliamentand adapts rcadily to changing political conditions and ideas. In theory the Constitution safeguards the separation of powers between the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. The lcgislature, which consists of both Houses of Parliament and formally the monarch, is the supreme authority, the supreme law-making body. The executive consists of the Cabinet and government ministries (or departments) headed by ministers (or sccretarics of state). The government is responsible for putting laws into effect and directing national policy and acts formally in the name of the monarch. The judiciary is composed mainly of the judges of the higher courts, who determine the common law and interpret Acts of Parliament and decide on cases arising out of the laws. The judiciary is supposed to be independent of the legislative and executive branches of government. The organs of government are clearly distinguishable, although their functions often intermingle and overlap. The monarch is formally the head of the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. A member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons and a member of the House of Lords may both be in the government of the day. A Law Lord in the House of Lords also serves the House of Lords as the highest appeal court.
