It is often useful to go back to the basics. To contact the fundamentals on which the later parts are built. Here I am referring to the need of having a constitution at all. After all, there is an unwritten one which seems to have worked well for the UK although the Magna Carta is the written document that puts in a lot of basic premises.
It seems that the rule of law is important as that is the application of force that is needed to ensure that civil behaviour continues. But the rule of law operates on the written law and precedent. And that is the achilles heel as the law can then be altered and changed by a process of redefinition of the terms in the law so as to make it a mockery of the original intention.
How do you preserve the original intent?
