Read it again, slower
There is no 'hard' or 'soft' anything, you have it or you don't. The Brits have a system they have based purely on good faith.
And they wre bumbling retards for it.
LOL so what happens if you have a government that is acting, systemically, in bad faith?
What is a constitution?
A hard codification of rights that is difficult to amend.
A codified set of laws and rules for a governing body that outlines procedures for governing, as well as its limitations.
The british have that, its just spread out among many laws and legal precidents
Instead of 1 document
that definition needs to be much more simplified
I think
That does not mean anything though. Precedent can be overlooked.
Laws often conflict.
Um not easily
See scotus
And laws conflict here too
That shit happens everywhere
They do but we have a higher set of laws to fall back to.
Which is a constitution.
We have laws that conflict with the constitution, but are still upheld.
And we can overlook said laws.
Just nobody wants to
I would be within my god given rights to buy an artillery piece to blow up a cow if I damn wanted
No you cant oberlook laws just because you dont agree with it
it not that easy. it a reason it can take years or decades to get a final judgment on conflicting laws
And if they said otherwise, well, I have an artillery piece. They will say I can't, but I can. They will take it. But they will also be in the wrong,
Yes you can
IF the Constitution d8sagrees
The Cojstitution is the uktimate Law of the Land. It is the law from which all others derive authority.
,lmao
You still get fines and arrested/charged. As pointed gun laws.
Which are not constitutional.
It's not unheard of for people to own and fire cannons. Had a neighbor that did just that. True he wasnt firing at any one.
Upheld by scotus
Which can be challenged.
By who?
SCOTUS and a gun.
Scotus is the highest court.
Scotus has upheld the machine gun ban for decades
For instance
