    The Magna Carta was a sort of written constitution, however much of it today and over the years has either been repealed or fallen in to disuse. You mention judges they it is true are governed by precedent but those precedents are set initially by Parliament in the form of laws. There would be little point in a judge sentencing a person to 10 years when the maximum sentence laid down by the state is 7 years.
    There are no set documents comprising a constitution, our nation is governed by Parliament which is elected by the people, peoples attitudes change and therefore those that govern us have to bow to the will of the people. Abortion, Homosexuality and others were all legalised to conform to public opinion but should public opinion change again, they can quite easily be repealed.
