Yes you do. Altho' it is not written down in a single volume.

A new democracy needs a constitution because it does not have behind it the slow, trial and error, experimental and experiential devpt. that England had. Think of a constitution as a substitute for a unique historical process. Or perhaps a uniquely English historical process.
See, hon, you are not the only one who can waffle on
