I stand corrected. (Actually, I'm sitting, but the point stands.)
I was informed once (by a true Canadian!) that Canada's constitution
was unwritten.
Yes, Stephen Black once produced here a technical argument that portions
of the Canadian constitution remain unwritten, but this is certainly not
the standard view of the matter. (After all, there is a written document
that all can plainly see in the Parliamentary library that is called the
constitution.) All courts refer to various unwritten legal traditions.
(The "right to privacy" is the most obvious case in the US.) This does
not make their constitutions "unwritten," per se.
