I know that Great Britain doesn't have an actual Constitution, as the US does, but they manage somehow The British certain refer to their Constitution often enough. Always struck me as a kind of secular mysticism.

I know that Great Britain doesn't have an actual Constitution, as the US does, but they manage somehow. I believe it is because the values are inherent in the people themselves, sort of default mode. Not exactly. As in the US, lots of books on it. The one I still have is the 1967 10th edition of AV Dicey's Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution first published in 1885. constitution.org If a Constitution has a provision which is antithetical to the beliefs of the majority, it won't work, in the long run. It will be ignored, and forgotten. Interesting short note: ncl.ac.uk The Harmonious Constitution
