THE CONSTITUTION SOCIETY
The Constitution Society is an independent, non-aligned educational trust. We promote public understanding of the British Constitution and work to encourage informed debate between legislators, academics and the public about proposals for constitutional change. We do not take any position on the merits of specific reform proposals and have no connection with any political party.
