Yeah I mean about your law (USA).

I really have the feeling that the bill of rights and the rights of the people in many EU countries is not a big difference, so far I don't know really a difference that is why I think I should read it.


And about the drugs law things like that will always have people who hate the law or love it.

 

Therein lies the tricky part.  Differences, even here from state to state, can be very subtle but the differences can be significant. Country to country can be even bigger because different words or different grammatical rules can totally change the meaning of two seeminly identical statutes. If you're interested, start with the US  Constitution. It's surprisingly small, but also very dense as legal language (especially something like a Constitution) has to be very precise yet flexible. 

I'll be gone for a couple weeks starting Saturday, but if you have any questions, feel free to message me. 

If you're curious about the reasoning behind it, I'm sure somewhere online is John Stuart Mill's political philosophy writing "On Liberty" you can read for free. It was written after our Constitution, but it's very close to our founders way of thinking, and American political thought in general. 

Actually, here's a quick and dirty notes version of On Liberty:

It's a fascinating insight into the libertarian perspective.

I'd link the legal history, but I don't think there's enough room on the internet. Seriously, it's a billion books that are a billion pages each. 

I'm going to go hunt for European founding documents, it'll give me something to do over this year break coming up.

Also, does anyone have this new EU treaty, is it up on the internet yet?
