Features: This book takes the relationship between citizens and the state, as well as the relationship between citizens' rights and state power, as its foundation. It elaborates on the operation of the entire national institution of the United Kingdom in detail, combining the basic principles of the constitution, outlining a simplified picture of British political life. The chapter "Citizens and the Constitution" discusses the theoretical principles of the British constitution. "Citizens and the Legislative Body," "Citizens and the Executive Department," and "Citizens and Judicial Control of Abuse of Power" then explain the relationship between citizens and these three national power organs, as well as the operating mechanisms of the three power organs, from the perspective of power being divided into legislative power, executive power, and judicial power. Chapter 5, "Citizens and the State," summarizes the relationship between citizens' rights and state power.
