Explanation:
The Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840, is a foundational document in New Zealand's history. While it is not directly enforceable in the courts, it is considered a part of New Zealand's unwritten constitution. This means that it informs the principles and values that underpin New Zealand's legal and political systems, even though it does not have the same legal status as a written constitution or statute. The Treaty is often referred to and considered in legal decisions, particularly in relation to issues affecting Māori rights and interests.
