It would never happen that you could find yourself in a country where all your rights would be respected without having them in writing. There will always be people who find profit in corrupting the issues in ways that disempower others. Remember, there are people who are stupid enough to do what the would-be dictator wants them to do because they see personal profit in doing so and disregard any and all effects their actions have or will have on anyone else.
Because we have written laws we are able to identify and/or figure out which "carve outs" need to be made and where. Of course, this makes law complicated and this is why we need practiced professionals who spend all of their working time dealing with these complexities. Dicatorships have no such laws because their word is the law and thus the law can be altered on the fly. If they have "lawyers or law" it is in name only because it is not in anyway fixed such that carve-outs and exclusions can be identified and fixed. Obviously we do not want anything like that for America because we would not know what we could or could not do from moment to moment.
