About this question
This is a free practice question from the The British constitution topic in the Government & Law of the UK chapter. The UK has no single written constitution, and this topic covers what stands in its place — the monarchy, Parliament, conventions and the separation of powers. Precise wording in the options matters more than usual.
The real Life in the UK Test has 24 multiple-choice questions and a 45-minute time limit, and you need 18 correct to pass. Practising a topic at a time is the quickest way to find the areas that still need work.
