Abstract

This study undertakes a historical examination of the foundational legal-constitutional principles underlying English constitutionalism. Specifically, it analyses Edward Coke’s conceptions of law, including its sources, aims, and constraints. Recognized as a seminal jurist of the Jacobin and Elizabethan periods, Coke is renowned for his advocacy of individual rights and judicial independence, as well as the enduring impact of his work on English legal theory. The research seeks to advance an understanding of these essential constitutional tenets and their influence on contemporary regulatory frameworks.
