Well that's rich, reading through this book it's quite clear Mr Grasse thinks that the US should take credit for everything good and let us British take the blame for everything bad.
The ONE example he comes up with is the Magna Carta, he is completely wrong about this document, he states that “all the Magna Carta says is that King John's power is not infinite.” well that's good enough for me, basically that means that the monarch is a figure head for the whole population, not the all powerful ruler they once were, that's called progress Mr Grasse, unlike our friends in the States we move forward, take a closer look at the Constitution, it states that you have the “right to keep and bear arms”, this was first used in the English Bill Of Rights 1689, and has subsequently been abolished in the UK (thankfully). The US can't seem to realise that the wording of the second amendment is very obscure and (probably) meant that the Militia (army) should be well armed to defend against attack from other countries, not that every man should have the right to keep a gun and use it for self defence.
