Create a written Constitution to show Sovereignty belongs to the Citizens

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to a total misunderstanding that the Magna Carta is still sacrosanct. We do not wish for British sovereignty to ever be given away nor borrowed ever again. A British Constitution is sorely needed. To show that government, is servants to the people and not via versa.
Magna Carta, Treaty of Lisbon. All laws concerning treason.
