Why do we need a Constitution?
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution
In Mayor Bloomberg's New York City you can be strolling down the street minding your own business and be stopped for no reason whatsoever by police officers and made to assume the position as they grope about your body crevasses looking for contraband. (From The Room with David Galland).
I guess we need the constitution to protect the people from the government. But unfortunately the Governments everywhere in the world don't care about the constitution. Private liberties are severely curtailed.
