Our Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights, is there to limit our government, to protect us from it. Seems like the UK would benefit from something like that.

That is the essential stroke of clarity, or genius, that distinguishes America from all other countries on earth.

The UK's contribution to the health of the world is the Common Law, one precept of which is that the Law is above even the King.

The EU have neither the American discovery of the true role of government, nor the tradition or instinct of the common law. This is why they generate despot after despot, and why they slide into Reich after Reich.
