Public Law - Parliamentary Sovereignty

[@thecliffracer]

Hi Marcus, a few months ago I had my LLB first year examinations. In that time I was entirely clueless as to what I should do. I was sure that I was going to be failing and having to take resit exams. I was especially worried about Public Law as I had very limited knowledge about it. However, your videos not only helped me pass but I was able to get a 60/100. I just came back here to thank you for your videos as I am not sure what I would have done without them. (I also managed to pass all other exams thankfully)

[@marcuscleaver]

That's amazing and congratulations on your results. It's great that your hard work has paid off!!

[@teatime6971]

You have explained a topic in 16 minutes that would have otherwise have taken me 3+ hours of watching lectures, would like to see some more Public Law Videos :)

[@dominisiaiero6378]

You've explained this topic better then my lecturer ! Thanks for the help. Great to revise from 👍😁

[@isajez307]

These videos are really excellent. Keep it up man, it's much appreciated

[@ekaterinacarnon1805]

this is so unbelievably useful, I've got 3 days to write a 5,000 dissertation on 'the rule of law gradually taking over as the organising principle of our constitution' and you've explained this so well and made it so easy!!! thank you Marcus!!!

[@marcuscleaver]

Best of luck with the dissertation!

marcus what a fantastic thing you do. you will have helped so many people. all of your very hard work is so appreciated

[@user-ps4qr5si9x]

Thank you Marcus this video is extremely helpful, its clear and well presented. God bless you for taking the time to put this together to help others like me.

[@Seven-c6q]

I wonder where Marcus studied law and most importantly what he got. He probably got a 1st or 2:1 at this rate I mean just look at the depth! Grateful!

[@RoyalLydia]

Just a reminder that this video is not in the Public law playlist yet. Thanks for making this video

[@EG-ld8ot]

Hi Marcus, you posted this video some time ago and I just watched to help with an assignment. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with, I am a mature student and sometimes I struggle to simplify my notes. I had the knowledge of most of what you talked about but your video allowed me to make connections and sense of my learning interventions. I am know a subscriber and adding your videos to my revision notes. If you are considering a career in academia you should definitely go for it! Good luck for the future and thanks again! Elizabeth

[@marcuscleaver]

Thanks, best of luck with your world history class. Sounds fascinating!

[@zainabadefioye3151]

you are a star! absolutely enjoyed this video

[@ezgranet]

Excellent video! One trifling note: while you are correct to state that in Germany, treaties take effect when signed by the head of state (cf Article 59 (1) of the Basic Law), in the United States, treaties can only take effect when signed by the head of state AND ratified by the second chamber- the Senate (cf Article II (2) of the US constitution).

[@marcuscleaver]

Quite correct! Thanks for the helpful comment! :)

[@FrankieTanner55]

Again, Marcus, this video has helped me no end. with this, my workshop notes and lecture notes, I really hope I will understand it completely when GDL exam season comes in January! I was just wondering if you could do a few a videos to help me and anyone else struggling with these areas of law: Criminal - Offences Against The Person 1861 (all about s.18, 20, 47, physical assault and simple assault), Sexual Offences, Criminal Damage. Any of those would be super helpful. I love the way you explain the topics - so simple to understand. Keep up the great work!

As a politics undergraduate student, this has been one of the most helpful videos, very simply and clearly explained. Does this all apply still despite the triggering of article 50?

[@marcuscleaver]

Yep, for the time being!! Article 50 just starts the timer, we are still technically part of the EU (for now!)

[@deathclawslunch3130]

Good video!! I have my constitutional law exam soon, appreciate the video. I was wondering what's your take on the Bill of Rights 1689 with regards to balancing powers? Also will you be considering doing a lecture on written/unwritten constitution? Thanks again!

[@marcuscleaver]

Well I guess the main thing from the Bill of Rights is article 9 that sets out parliamentary sovereignty. Worth having a look at the case of R v Chaytor though to see its limits.

[@hk6273]

At 4:43 you say: Rhodesia declared independence without act of parliament from UK and this was questioned in British courts and they upheld the idea that Britain had sovereignty over Rhodesia. Do you have any examples of cases?

Can we say parliament is still sovereign in modern day?

[@marcuscleaver]

It's becoming less the case each day given the growing power of the executive branch.

[@abigailpatterson9490]

@@marcuscleaver which cases have shown that ? And what has court shown this?

[@marcuscleaver]

@@abigailpatterson9490 Mostly cases from the Supreme Court under Lord Reed. Begum is the most high profile example but there is also R (SC, CB and eight children) v. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and R (AB) v. Secretary of State for Justice. There is also legislation that curtails judicial review like the Judicial Review and Courts Act from last year.

Hi Marcus, Apart from judicial review , would courts still be able to declare act of parliament invalid on any other grounds ?

[@marcuscleaver]

Even judicial review doesn't make Acts of Parliament invalid!

marcuscleaver so there’s nothing the courts can do to declare act of parliament invalid ?

No, watch my video on Parliamentary Sovereignty. :)

no act, legislation or statute is enforceable, except through threats, cohersion, intimidation and violence. which is all against common law. it can also be enforced by consent and consent is individual.

[@proquciprodesse210]

Are you aware Article.61 Magna Carta was lawfully invoked on March 23rdx 2001? Google peers petition queen on eu. Your educated view and response would be greatly appreciated. Intrigued.

[@gregoryharden]

Remember that this was published in 2016, before UK left EU

[@0000-e3q]

The concept of unlimited parliamentary sovereignty is a deeply English principle and has no counterpoint in Scottish Constitutional Law. Scots Law is protected in all perpetuity by the Act of Union 1707. Under Scots Constitutional Law (as per the Declaration of Arbroath, Claim of Right 1689 and the Claim of Right 1988) the people of Scotland are sovereign. The concept of parliamentary sovereignty comes from the old English Parliament which was dissolved in April 1707 along with the old Parliament of Scotland. Why would the new UK Parliament inherit all the traits of the old English Parliament but none of the traits of the old Scottish Parliament? In July 2018 The UK Parliament debated the Claim of Right 1989 and accepted the principle. It was then recorded into Hansard. Even the UK Supreme Court accepts the Claim of Right.
