Description

A debate as to whether the UK's uncodified constitution is better than that of the United States of America's codified one.

The countries are those recognised as permanent member states of the United Nations Security Council.

'Better' is subjective and the point of the debate. The specific merits or demerits of the specific systems are for participants to debate.

The proposer is arguing that the British Constitution is better rebutting any arguments that the USA's is better. The opposing contender is arguing the USA Constitution is better and rebutting any arguments that the British is better. Shared BoP.

Word Count is high as not to cut people off mid-argument, not nearly required to go that high.
No kritiks.

While technically a duel full forfeiture, pro's opening was well detailed and well researched enough that I'll give him credit for it in spite his absence thereafter.
