什么是保守的性格？它能提供一些关于英国不断变化的宪法的见解吗？我们通过确定保守倾向的核心要素，并探索它如何为努力理解不断变化的宪法的公共律师提供偶然的指导，来回答这些问题。我们的目标是说明为什么保守倾向仍然与公共律师有关，这在很大程度上是因为，而不是尽管，宪法正在改变。我们研究了性格与变化的关系，并回顾了保守性格如何在何时追求变化，如何追求变化，在任何时间点追求多少以及什么原因应该激励它方面提供开放式指导。在评估了反对保守倾向与宪法思想相关性的论点之后，我们将保守论点与两个重要的宪法改革建议联系起来：英国退出欧洲人权公约和一部成文宪法。
What is a conservative disposition? And can it supply any insights into the UK’s changing constitution? We offer answers to these questions by identifying core elements of a conservative disposition and exploring how it offers contingent guidance to public lawyers striving to make sense of a changing constitution. Our goal is to show why a conservative disposition remains relevant to public lawyers, in large measure because, rather than despite, the constitution is changing. We examine the disposition’s relationship with change and review how a conservative disposition offers open-ended guidance on when to pursue change, how to pursue it, how much of it to pursue at any point in time and what reasons should motivate it. After evaluating arguments against the relevance of a conservative disposition to constitutional thought, we relate conservative arguments to two important proposals for constitutional reform: the withdrawal of the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights and a written constitution.
