1. The United States constitution could and should be more flexible, not in absolute rights like human rights butt in updating to suit a modern society. Of course I am speaking about gun laws which are archaic and only suited to a rural establishing society and not one where everyone lives on top of each other and is multiracial plural with unequal opportunity due to poverty.
2. Whilst the US has these rights enshrined it has only laid down the foundations for a 'happier' society, yet that is currently NOT the case. US needs a better political system to back up its great Constitutional system.
3.
The U.S. is the only country which has enshrined individual rights as clearly as was done in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
I am not actually certain this is strictly true, however you might be interested to now that a cousin of mine Geoffrey Robertson QC has written a book entitled 'The Statute of Liberty - how Australians can take back their rights', advocating a similar course for Australia in following the American lead in this department.
