Overall, opinions are diverse and shaped by individual experiences and contexts.
The British empire grew because they wanted to trade with other countries to make their industry grow they also went to war with other countries to gain control such as France the Dutch and the Portuguese and exploring new undiscovered countries too.
What assumptions made you think British people are smart? The majority of us are mediocre workers, as like any other countries public system. The only reason you think we're smart is because of "T.V" episodes/films and possibly the rise of Stephen Hawkins? Other then that, we just adapt and keep to ourselves, as like America does and China/Japan etc...
British people respect laws and disciplines because there are consequences if they don't, there are consequences. Many citizens of countries other than Britain follow their countries rules.

The majority of Americans do not hate the British and do not think they are better than them, but there will always be the prideful few who do think America is better, just like in Britain where a few think they are better than the Americans. Americans actually find some of the British's culture and mannerisms fascinating and interesting. Most Americans have a more mature view of the world than this, though like all countries there are nationalist elements who see all other countries as inferior to their own.
