In fact, when political and military leaders exercise their executive powers, Parliament and the judiciary have limited oversight, let alone control, over their actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDefence and the UK Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e introduces key constitutional issues to a general audience and pinpoints the differences between the 'legal constitution' and the 'political constitution', with reference to the lack of accountability within modern British security structures.
