An entrenched Bill of Rights for UK v further informed citizens?

Question

How many people without political or legal degrees actually know exactly what Human Rights they have, or when and where these rights are being infringed?

From situations I have encountered I would predict that few people do. Perhaps it would be of greater benefit to society to empower citizens with this knowledge, rather than strengthen the position, within the constitution, of a set of rights that people do not fully understand.

Answer 1

i pick entrenched rights, not sure of the full implications of either but entrenched is such an unsual word!

Answer 2

Magna Carta is our constitutional document that provides us with a right to habeus corpus and a trial by our peers -- so it seems that now we have more legal rights than the Americans, who are now at their president's dictate.

But I think that the 1948 United Nations Declaration of Human Rights should be legally binding in the United Kingdom and, once the Queen has died, the monarchy should be abolished, at least as a constitutional monarchy, then the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland should become the Democratic Republic of Britain and Northern Ireland. Then we will be citizens.

Answer 3

there is a common misconception that the people of the UK have rights. under UK law we do not have any rights. UK law does not say what we are allowed to do only the things we are not allowed to do.
the first opportunity this country had to obtain rights was through the EU and that was killed off by the French and Norwegians voting no

Answer 4

With no written constitution, what protection of any rights ? A better
( or one that worked ) education system might help people .

Answer 5

British people are not citizens, they are subjects. This is a kingdom, not a republic.
