Maybe those values were not part of the founding culture - nothing worse than throwing empty words into a foundational document
In the US you see people fight to this day for the 1st (and 2nd) amendment, not because they were written down 200+ years ago, but because it’s part of the culture
- Tomte 7y ago> why didn’t those other countries model their constitutions after the US? Fair point. I started my comment about nation-building efforts by America, where America was dominant and the country in question had virtually no way to decide otherwise (like with Germany). But when I was done editing and re-editing it I had extended it to all kinds of newer countries, and your point is well taken there.
