legislature and the highest judicial
body/bodies
• Whether constitution is federal or unitary
• Whether constitution is unicameral or
bicameral
• N.B. If time also consider the above in
relation to the UK
Constitutions 5
• What does the UK constitution look like?
• It is uncodified
• Made up of legislation/cases/conventions
• Executive = The Government
• Legislative = Parliament
• Judiciary = Supreme Court
• It is unitary (but devolution)
• It has a bicameral system (House of Commons
and House of Lords)
Separation of Powers
• Separation of powers is….
1. The separation of personnel and functions
of government
2. Bodies providing ‘checks and balances’
on the power of other bodies
Debates
• Twenty minutes to prepare in your groups
• Five minutes for each group to present (up
to you how you present)
• Time for each group to respond
• Other two groups vote whether to approve
the motion or not
Debate Motions
Motion 1: Scotland should become an
independent country
Motion 2: The judiciary should be
representative of society.
Scottish Independence
• Historically a separate country
• Crowns were united in 1603 (James I) and
Parliaments in 1706 (Treaty of Union)
• Devolution occurred in 1998 (74.3% voted for it)
• Scottish parliament can make law on a wide range
of subjects (e.g. education, the environment, health
and housing)
• There are still numerous reserved matters (e.g.
benefits, immigration, defence, foreign policy) that
only the UK can legislate on
• SNP gained a majority in the Scottish Parliament in
2011 giving them a mandate to hold an
independence referendum on 18 September 2014.
Scottish Independence 2
The main issues include:
• What currency an independent Scotland
would use (pound, euro or something else)
• The impact on business
• Membership of the EU (whether Scotland
would be automatically able to join or not)
• The economy
Judicial Diversity
• Old Boy’s Network
• Appointments made upon ‘merit’ and encourage
diversity (ss63-64)
• 22.6% female and 4.2% BME (Judiciary.gov.uk)
• Supreme Court  1 female judge and 0 BME
• ‘Trickle Up’ – Lord Sumption
• Positive Discrimination – Baroness Hale
• Equality of Opportunity
Judicial Diversity 2
Reasons for:
• Different perspectives
• Think/Reason differently
• Act as role models
• Reflect demographics of society
• BUT if impartial does it matter?
• How far do we go to achieve diversity?
Debates
• Fifteen minutes to prepare in your groups
• Five minutes for each group to present (up
to you how you present)
• Time for each group to respond
• Other two groups vote whether to approve
the motion or not
Motions
Motion 1: Scotland should become an
independent country
Motion 2: The judiciary should be
representative of society.
