We have observed that Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement, these are indeed codified

You do not know what the word codified means.
cod·i·fy (kd-f, kd-)
tr.v. cod·i·fied, cod·i·fy·ing, cod·i·fies
1. To reduce to a code: codify laws.
2. To arrange or systematize
The laws you list are not reduced to a code. They have not been arranged or systematized. Far from it. Magna Carta is not codified, but has been reduced to virtually nothing. In the Bodleian Law Library there is no place where the statutes are ordered in a code. I had cause to refer to MC in a case I brought and found its current expression in Halsbury's Statutes which is an indexed encyclopaedia of statute law, but not a code.
aarable, you wouldn't know where to start in a law library. You know nothing about the structure of our constitutional law.
