We (UK) have the Magna Carta. While its provisions are few, one of them is more than a little important.

I was looking at a presentation on and of Magna Carta in Salisbury on
Wednesday. (Unconnected with the fuss about the poisoning of a russian
spy, his daughter and a policeman in that city last weekend.)

IIRC less than 10% of its provisions are still encoded in current law
according to the modern translation.

Does the US really benefit from having a constitution? E.g. on the
subjects of free speech and gun law?
