The constitution's amendments are different from other laws. Instead of restricting the people, it restricts the government power. It is there to make it harder for the government to devolve into a tyrannical one. The historical context (the US fighting against the monarchy of England for independence) is why it's there and it explains many of its regulation (including the right to bear arms, which was needed in order to fight against England). The UK doesn't have it, which makes it a lot less stable, as seen in 1997
