Re: even if he did...
And yet, UK residents have lost the right to stay silent when accused of a crime. How did that happen?
Everyone reading this forum knows you can be imprisoned indefinitely in the UK for not giving them your keys, even if you don't have any to give!
There is nothing that the UK govt cannot make legal (or illegal) just by changing the law.
There is a reason the founding fathers wrote it down, and there are separate branches of Govt. With as much "flux" as there was in Europe in the 1700's, it is clear they understood the malign intent of the ruling classes to abuse any and all political power. It is not a finished document, but it remains an amazing statement of "self-evident truths".
Of course the US constitution has roots in many documents prior to it, English being the working language, but let's not forget the French revolution and the somewhat amazing Ben Franklin.
As with most things English, the Americans found unique ways of improving upon them...
Beer, as that is one thing the Americans have improved drastically in the last few years...;-)
