Thats just plain wrong. The poms dont have a
constitution, we do. And some parts of ours have
been copied almost word for word from the yankee
one, particularly the bit about freedom of religion.

The poms dont even have a written constitution at all.

We have a federal system thats a lot closer
to the yank system than to the pom system.
