Yes, the UK is an exception. Most countries have a codified constitution.

[-] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, and most countries have judicial review.

A moment ago you didn't know that most countries have constitutions. Now you know all about judicial review?

What are you talking about?

Context is everything. OP wrote this:

the kind of power top courts have in other countries.

And I responded that in those other countries, the constitution doesn't exist or is not the supreme law of the land.

Which is it? Most countries don't have a constitution, or most have judicial review?

[-] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Most countries have a constitution that acts as a supreme law and have judicial review.

As the OP suggested some countries don't have judicial review, but they either have no constitution or it is not the supreme law.
