> Secondly, we employ "adversarial" systems for two branches of government (legislative and judicial) because it's a hell of a lot easier to spot flaws in ideas of people you are opposed to (as opposed to some European Judiciaries that have "inquisitorial" systems, where a judge investigates activity).

if that would be the case, why is the adversarial system not working in its current practice?

Also, i think the difference between the judicial systems of parlementary/european and the american system have more to do with the difference between civil and common law.

European goverments are really the legacy of the revolutionary french idea's of a civic state, in which citizens have duties to the state, and have rights being garantueed by the state. The state itself is being granted the authority to do this by its citizens through some process.

I have to ask if you understand that "being easier" is not a guarantee of anything other than... wait for it...

It being easier.
