  2. Constitution of UK is unwritten

  4. Judicial Review is a feature of Constitution of UK
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The UK constitution is unwritten and unitary, the Prime Minister is the de facto head (not de jure head - that's the monarch), but judicial review in the UK is not a constitutional feature in the same way as in countries with written constitutions. UK parliamentary sovereignty means courts cannot strike down primary legislation, though they can review administrative actions. Therefore statement D is indeed wrong.
