Invitation to Debate UK Democracy and State Constitution 2


Request for comments, suggestions and debate

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
towards a
New Bill of Rights OR Magna Carta Nova


Constitution of state should ideally be an agreement among a "super"majority of the population rather than a set of principles and rules imposed by authority such as a government, a dictator or a deity.

Seeking ways to realise this ideal, we ask

how can we citizens of GB and N. Ireland progress towards agreement on basic principles? Such agreement would be aimed, over time, to lead to some development of new constitutional consensus, law and/or practice, whether written, "codified" or unwritten.

We will pose some questions – say one at a time – and we invite people to suggest others.

First, can we agree on the following principle, which may be found, variously formulated, as a basic principle, in constitutions of other states? –


The dignity of the human person shall not be violated.
