This is why the authors of the US Constitution did not make
the new nation a Democracy. They knew rule by the Demos meant mob
rule. That is why they made the USA a Republic.
Do you think Democracy and being a Republic are mutually exclusive?
As a form of government, of course. But in the context of "democracy"
meaning the people have a vote in a Republic, no problem.
So -- has the topic of a Constitution of some kind been mooted in the UK?
A strange question. We British have had a Constitution since at least 1688.
