The Acts of Union are foundational pieces of legislation which replaced the Constitution of 19 July 2022. They were written by Serafina Sherwood, 1st Duchess of Manitoba, and Elizabeth, Princess Royal, 1st Duchess of Cambridge. Acting as the Constitutional Convention, the Privy Council passed the Acts of Union on 27 October 2021. This set of documents are comprised of the Treaty of Union 2021, the Monarchy Act 2021, the Parliament Act 2021, the Executive Act 2021, and the Judiciary Act 2021.
The passage of the Acts of Union reformed the entire legal system of the Empire of Great Britain, turning it into an organic law system without a codified constitution. The Statutory Interpretations Act 2022 clarifies and provides structure and supremacy to the Acts of Union.
