Summary/Abstract: The text poses the question: does Great Britain need a “written” or “unwritten” constitution? The main issues in the text are the participants in the constitutional debate, certain constitutional reform proposals, the tenor of the debate on “British” constitution and certain consequences ensuing from adopting a “written” constitution for one of the oldest world democracies. The author suggests that the circumstances and the motivational force of the national identity in Great Britain are not yet ready for the revolution of the written constitution.
