Answer from: autumnravenaj

Explanation:

Because a Constitution is designed to tell the government what it cannot do with regards to the citizenry, and what rights it is not allowed to impinge upon. That’s essential in a Democratic Republic - after all, the people’s representatives are the ones making the decisions on behalf of everyone else. That’s slightly different to the system we have in the UK.

The UK isn’t a Democratic Republic: it’s a Parliamentary Democracy, which invariably means that, though we elect our representatives to a central government (in the same way that the US does with regards to Congress), our representatives are there to reflect our views, and not their own. The system of government itself is designed to be fluid, and change over time. When the public asked for stricter gun legislation in the wake of the Dunblane Massacre, we got it. No muss, no fuss. Even something as serious as the EU ‘Brexit’ mandate was something that we voted on beforehand. If it’d been the US, you’d have been told it was happening, or not happening.

It’s also worth noting that many of the Constitutional documents around the world are patterned on UK political documents that helped to shape the concept of modern democracy. The Magna Carta of 1215 helped to place limits upon the actions of autocratic monarchy and instituting the concepts of ‘due process’, the Case of Proclamations of 1610, which asserted that “the King by his proclamation or other ways cannot change any part of the common law, or statute law, or the customs of the realm”, the act of Habeas Corpus in 1679, the Bill of Rights of 1689…the list goes on.

Read the final lines of "one true friend," by etta-may spenser. answer the question that follows: though i'd never confide all my feelings inside, to everyone i ever knew. you are my one true friend and i swear till the end: i'll never keep secrets from you. the author uses the same poetic device in line 1 and line 3. which choice best explains the device she repeats and the reason she does so? a- she uses alliteration to create a lounge twister to make a serious topic more playful. b - she uses assonance to slow down the rhythm so the reader lingers on every word. c - she uses consonance so the words flow together as one and create a unified rhythm. d -she uses internal rhyme to quicken the pace and create a sense of anticipation.
