“England and Scotland had Bill of Rights 100 years before you.”
And you lost it.
“What do you think yours is based on?.”
Common sense.
England and Scotland bow to royalty.
Americans do not.
England and Scotland have rights granted by Queens and
sometimes a King.
Americas rights are granted by god.
The problem we have is our own version of Bonnie Prince Charlie is sitting in the white-house pointing at western
Europe as a fine example.
Say What? I think you owe all Scotland an apology.
That latter day Lennin in the White Hut wouldn't be fit to lick the sheep sh*t off Bonnie Prince Charlie's boot soles.
1—We havent lost it.
2—As is ours. Scotland esp was famous for its common sense philosophers like Hume or Frances Hutcheson.
3—We dont bow to royalty, since 1642 the monarch is a figurehead with no actual real power.
The US bill of rights was NOT based on common sense. What is common sense but what we all accept as wisdom anyway? Well it certainly was not commonly held wisdom before the bills of rights were introduced, by definition.
Don't be so naive. Americans certainly DO bow to royalty, its just a different kind these days - mostly based in the WH and Hollywood. Well, most americans do anyway. Those with more sense (as in those on these boards) dont. But youre in a minority.
Both an Englishman's and an Americans rights are granted by God. The difference is that ours are guaranteed by the crown and yours by the constitution.
