I'm just thinking there are times where there is a violent assault, for example, perhaps the person has previous and is basically a horrible person who was winding someone up or just doing stuff that most people would be disgusted with. Only some of that is easy to capture in law. If a constitution/charter had something like "Our society does not accept people who are unecessarily aggressive or quick to get violent", then the perpetrator doesn't get away with it because they didn't actually hurt someone or reach the burden for proving "fear of violence" needed for assault. Don't know. Probably not realistic but at least then a society could know how infrastructure, government and public services are directed; people who want to immigrate can see clearly that e.g. "We respect the rule of law and property" so that they don't think it is OK to not pay tax, to not insure their car etc; and also for people who are a pain because they are just selfish and do things that rub people up the wrong way, "we are mindful that the community is more important than the individual and the community can decide that they don't like what you are doing even if it isn't illegal"
