An unwritten constitution is the body of legislation, rules, regulations, and common law recognized by legislators, executives, and courts as the binding laws that legitimize, guide, and limit a government's powers and authority as well as the public's rule of law. With an unwritten constitution, the body of laws are not enumerated within a single, formal document as witnessed in Israel, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
