    Minor pedant:

    It doesnt address rights, which were an innovation of the American political system in 1787.

    Richard\'s brother John would probably beg to differ on that. As would Charles I. It\'s probably fair to suggest that the Westminster system has its roots in the idea of rights and limitation of power.

    Hell, you can take it back further than that. The Roman Republic\'s Tribunes of the People protected the rights of the plebians from the patricians.
