Britain's artificial creations are failing

It's also worth remembering that just because something is forbidden, explicitly or implicitly, in a constitution does not mean it can't happen.

Two cases in point. Look at the (remarkably progressive for the time) Wiemar Constitution in 1920's Germany, and then the complete hellhole that Hitler made of it more-or-less legally.

Second case, the US. In their Declaration of Independence you have "all men are created equal" and their First Amendment says, in part, that Congress shall pass no laws restricting the right to freedom of assembly and expression. Both came about while slavery was still a legal practice, which is a pretty big block to "freedom of expression and/or assembly".

So yeah, something may be unconstitutional now. But constitutions can and do change, and not always for the better.

Very valid points.
