About Legislation, Law-Making and Law Reform
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources here follow how law is made and changed. Most are mind maps, with flashcards, notes, quizzes, slide sets and two flowcharts alongside them. The material is community-made, and it suits school students working towards exams such as GCSE Law, A-level Law and A-level Politics.
Where to start
Begin with the flowchart UK Parliament Lawmaking to see the route a bill takes. Then open the mind map Parliamentary law making, which includes pressure groups and their shared aim of getting the government to change the law. Next, read Advantages and Disadvantages of Parliamentary Law making. It notes that the process is thorough, with three readings and two stages in each House of Parliament.
Delegated legislation and interpretation
- Open the mind map Delegated legislation. It explains that when Parliament is not best placed to make law, power passes to another body through an enabling Act.
- Move on to the maps and flashcards on bylaws, Statutory Instruments and Orders in Council.
- Study Statutory Interpretation, which sets out the literal, golden and mischief rules, with cases such as LNER v Berriman and Whiteley v Chappell.
Law reform and using quizzes with maps
The maps on Law Reform and Influences on Parliament look at how organisations can shape new laws. The note Influences on Parliament Exam Question helps with writing answers. Read a map first, then take a quiz such as Delegated Legislation or Law Reform. Return to the map for any answer you missed.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the UK Parliament Lawmaking flowchart to see how a bill moves through Parliament. Then open the Parliamentary law making mind map for pressure groups and the process itself. Once that feels clear, move on to delegated legislation and statutory interpretation.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover parliamentary law making, its advantages and disadvantages, delegated legislation, bylaws, Statutory Instruments and Orders in Council. They also cover statutory interpretation, the Law Commission and the influences on Parliament. Several maps are repeated by different authors, so you can compare approaches.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes, a free account lets you do that.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention A-level Law, GCSE Law, GCSE, A-level Politics and WJEC Criminology. Most are at secondary level, so school students will find the most here. Check each resource against your own exam specification, since the material was written by individual users.
How can I test myself on delegated legislation?
Try the quizzes Delegated Legislation and 4. Types of Delegated Legislation. You can also use the flashcard decks on Orders in Council, Statutory Instruments and bylaws. Read the matching mind map first, then quiz yourself, and note which types you mix up.
What if I can't find what I need?
Browse the notes, slide sets and flashcards on the page, as a topic may sit under a different title. If something is still missing, you can build your own mind map, flashcard deck or quiz on it, which can be a good way to revise.
