> If you don't see the value of laws being written down

I don't think this is helping much in the US right now. The orangefuhrer has shown he is willing to ignore clauses that are inconvenient.

Nobody claimed it's helping or hurting. The debate is over what constitutes a constitution, whether good or bad. There have been great governments without a constitution and terrible governments with one. "You don't have a constitution" does not mean "your government sucks", but it seems somehow people take it as such.

It's a shame you can't really explain it. It's ineffable, isn't it.

Pretty soon you won't be able to afford eggs.
