Uk Constitutional Changes Overview

Summary

The Investigatory Powers Act 2016, known as the Snoopers Charter, faced significant debate before passing. The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law with relative ease. Brexit led to constitutional changes affecting citizens rights, such as the end of freedom of movement and the need for EU citizens to apply for settled status in the UK. The removal from ECJ jurisdiction raised concerns about legal uniformity and rights protection. The Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 reformed gun laws following the Dunblane massacre.
