automobile industry, with low labour costs and a comprehensive
healthcare and social security system attracting ma+or automobile
companies from the US and apan to set up manufacturing facilities in
#anada.

written, but instead of being one formal document, the %ritish
constitution is formed from various sources including statute law, case
law made by +udges, and international treaties.
The U-*s monarchy is considered the oldest of all modern constitutional
monarchies. Iost of powers once e'ercised by the monarch have now
been devolved to ministers. )n a process of change during which the
monarchy*s absolute power has been gradually reduced, custom now
dictates that the Jueen follows ministerial advice. The Jueen performs a
range of important duties, such as summoning and dissolving !arliamentand giving royal assent to legislation passed by the U- !arliament, the
Scottish !arliament and the ational Assembly for (ales or the orthern
)reland Assembly.
