I think most people have a general idea of the Constitution, and somewhat of the Bill of Rights.

I believe in an evolving Constitution. A flexible Constitution leaves room for us to consider not merely how the world once was, but how it ought to be.

I was a Member of the European Parliament for a period of time and I saw a lot of European laws and treaties.
