A point of clarification: The UK certainly does have a constitution. It is true that its constitution is not contained in a single document as in the USA. Rather it can be found in numerous statutes, court decisions, royal prerogatives, parliamentary convention and treaties.
We've all likely heard of some of the statutes: the Magna Carta, the Act of Union and the Bill of Rights come to mind.

The American colonies rebelled not because they thought the rights protecting citizens of England were insufficient, but because they believed that those right were being denied to colonials. Initially, at least, they simply wanted to be treated the same as Englishmen back in the home country were treated.
