About this course

This course will explore the role of Parliament and Government from its early beginnings through to the present day. It will follow the journey of political ideas from its inception through to its implementation and will explore how we as citizens might be able to influence the very laws that impact on all our lives. 


It has never been more important to try and make sense of Britain’s unwritten constitution and to understand the role of the Monarch, the Government, Parliament, the courts and most importantly the role of the British people.


At the end of the sessions you will,

  • Understand the difference between Parliament and Government and how they each work
  • Be able to explain how a bill becomes law
  • Know how to fully participate in the running of your country and how to influence its laws. 

You will need:
