Description

New Zealand's constitution is an informal and evolving framework made up of key statutes, common law, and conventions, rather than a single codified document. Central to this framework are the Constitution Act 1986, which defines the relationship between the Crown, Parliament, and the courts, and the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, which guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms.
