"well-functioning written constitution" (none / 0)

You miss the point: No such thing exists.

All law "functions" because of obedience to and enforcement of it by people.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

"well-functioning written constitution" (none / 1)

I don't miss the point. I say that I can't see one (though I concede it might exist).

"well-functioning written constitution" (4.00 / 2)

All law comes into being because people perform it. Whether they write it down or speak it is one of its attributes, not a factor of its function, product(s), or value--beneficent, perverse, or punitive.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
