What am I required to do in this assignment? It has been suggested that UK’s accession to the European Union had enabled a transfer of law-making powers from the UK Parliament to the European Union. The power of the European Union to make law that is automatically enforced in the Union’s member states was a hot topic among UK lawyers, judges and politicians, who became fascinated with the changing nature of parliamentary sovereignty. On 31 January 2020, 11:00 pm, the UK left the European Union. In a report of 3,000 words, consider the following questions: What is parliamentary sovereignty and what is the precise role of Parliament? Did European Union law really undermine parliamentary sovereignty while the UK was an EU member state? Both parts carry equal weight. What do I need to do to pass?
