The Constitution Society

The Constitution Society is an independent educational foundation founded in 2009. It promotes public understanding of the UK constitution and encourages informed debate between legislators, academics and the public about proposals for constitutional change. It advocates the maintenance of basic constitutional standards and a considered approach to constitutional change, and monitors current constitutional developments, assessing them against core principles identified by the United Kingdom Constitution Monitoring Group. It is a registered charity, entirely independent with no connection to any political party, and relies for its funding on individual donations and grants from educational trusts and foundations. It supports other constitution-focused organisations and initiatives, including the United Kingdom Constitution Monitoring Group and the UK Constitutional Law Association.
