Values & principles

The Human Rights Act, passed in 1998, integrated the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, allowing citizens to defend these rights in domestic courts. The Magna Carta of 1215 and the Bill of Rights 1689 are historical English documents that predated modern European law.

The Human Rights Act was passed by the UK Parliament in 1998, incorporating the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law. Other dates, such as 1989 or 1992, are incorrect because the legislation was not introduced or enacted during those years.

The NHS stands for the National Health Service, which was established in 1948 to provide healthcare that is free at the point of delivery. A diagram for this topic isn't available yet — the worked example below walks the same reasoning step by step.

• !Other dates, such as 1989 or 1992, are incorrect because the legislation was not introduced or enacted during those years.
