Every generation gets the Constitution that it deserves. As the central preoccupations of an era make their way into the legal system, the Supreme Court eventually weighs in, and nine lawyers in robes become oracles of our national identity.
We don't need a nation that has national identity cards.
American cinema tends to express a patriotic relationship to national identity on a regular basis.
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
