apparently many of them are fine with restricted freedoms and a government that can rewrite its own rules with a simple majority

your Parliament can rewrite your "constitution" at a whim
they could totally get rid of freedom of speech if they wanted to
the UK could become Ingsoc at any time if Parliament wanted to

the Patriot Act was in response to terrorism
it is bad
but not "the government can do what it wants as long as it wants to" bad

Im pretty sure you cannot "erase" the charters. That's the Bill of Rights you are referring to.

the Parliament can
the Legislative branch of the US government can repeal amendments, but it takes a supermajority in both houses and a ratification in three-fourths of the states; same as for adding an amendment
the Bill of Rights is very unlikely to have any part repealed
we've only repealed prohibition

Constitutional monarchy? Something like that? I don't know.

Parliament has limited checks and balances. The US's government was built with checks and balances in mind.

"than an easy potential for evil"

I don't understand...do you mean it's easy for an 'evil' party to get in power or for a party to pass 'evil' laws?

The latter. "Evil" is subjective, but some things are likely to be considered wrong to do. Like removing freedom of speech
