Unwritten Constitution

Written Constitution

Unwritten constitution refers to the unstructured version of the constitution

Written Constitution refers to the codified, compiled and cohesive constitution, which can be stored for future reference

The terms of an Unwritten Constitution evolve over a long period with a new set of laws and guidelines added as time passes on.

Written constitutions like the Indian Constitution are framed by analysis and discussion on any possible issue and compiled in a step by step matter with subsequent changes made instantaneously or with time

These types of Constitutions can be rigid or flexible or both

Such constitutions are flexible which means the changes can be made in them with time

The Parliament is the supreme power in a country with an unwritten constitution

The Constitution is supreme where there is a written constitution

The judiciary is limited in its powers and the Parliament can only challenge things when there is an Unwritten Constitution

The Judiciary is more powerful and can have the power of judicial review so as to ensure constitutional supremacy

The Magna Carta can be considered the earliest form of the unwritten constitution.

The Constitution of the United States of America is considered the oldest written constitution, that is still in force. 

Such Constitutions work better in a Monarchy or Autocracy

Such Constitutions work best in a Democracy
