Canada's constitution was designed to be "similar in principle" to that of the U.K. The highest court in Canada used to be the British Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. And, until 1982, the Canadian constitution could not be amended without Britain's consent. To get a flavour of what is happening in constitutional law in the United Kingdom, consider this sampling of links:

• Magna Carta, 1215
• 1689 English Bill of Rights
• House of Commons
• House of Lords
• UK Law Online
• House of Lords Judgments (Farislaw)
• Acts of the UK Parliament
