In addition to having the oldest written constitution the US also has one of the shortest. To what can the longevity of so brief a document be attributed?
In the first place, the written part of the English constitution, the Magna Carta, is centuries older than any American document. Two hundred years is hardly " longevity" in historical terms. In the second place, the utterly misnamed "Patriot Act" has abrogated the Constitution. It is no longer alive, so again, "longevity" seems inappropriate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, there is no "written part of the English constitution". Britain is a constitutional monarchy without a written constitution; and though much of British common law can be traced back to Magna Carta, Britain remains bound by parliamentary sovereignty which owes no allegience to any constitution, written or otherwise. Regarding your comment regarding the Patriot Act, you should refer to Article II, Sec.3, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution. You are entitled to emotive political opinions (our constitution guarantees it) but they are not based in fact. My answer to the original question is certainly subjective (as is anyone's) but the US Constitution's longevity is likely due to its simplicity and strict separation of powers.
How were the American state constitutions different from those of Great Britain?
Great Britain has what is considered to be an unwritten constitution. Certain understandings exist, about the nature of British government, but they are not in the form of any written document. Britain has a much longer history than the US, and in the middle ages, nations did not have constitutions, they just had rulers who made up their own rules and enforced them by force of arms. In Britain this gradually evolved into a democratic form of government, without ever having a constitutional convention, such as the American colonies had, following the Revolutionary War.
