Constitutional claims become particularly contentious in the arena of national security. Drawing on the Begum case on cancellation of British citizenship, the issues of parliamentary sovereignty, the Human Rights Act, national security, deference and discretion are illustrated in this chapter. The voice of racialised categories can become silenced in these constitutional disputes. The aim of this chapter is to unpack how such silencing may happen in the name of majoritarian democracy.
