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in three-fourths of the states; same as for adding an amendment the Bill of Rights is very unlikely to have any part repealed we've only repealed prohibition |

| 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 |
