This paper aims to articulate Edmund Burke's concept of constitution. To articulate it, I suppose that it is necessary to compare it to the concept of constitution in the thought of modern law school. Then, we understand that Edmund Burke's concept of constitution should be recognised in the context of the common law tradition. And it is important to recognise the role of Revolution of 1688. At the same time, I maintain that Edmund Burke grounds the British constitution on the classical natural law.
