Introduce Mandatory Public Law Lessons in Schools

Petition Details

Why can Parliament override the Government?
If Judges can tell the PM what to do, does that mean they are more powerful?
Where does the Queen fit in to all of this?

Introducing mandatory Public Law lessons into schools would ensure future generations can answer all of these questions, and more.

Additional Information

The bitter Brexit debate over the past few years has revealed how many people often misunderstand the very laws and conventions by which they are governed.

Whatever side of the debate you are on, I hope all will agree that this knowledge should not be reserved to a privileged few. Everyone has the right to know how they are governed and by whom.

Schools should therefore teach basics of Public Law, including Parliamentary Supremacy, the role of the Monarch and convention, and judicial review.
