Which is the main - or perhaps the only reason - why some countries have due process in the first place.
It is not that social elites just decide to extend it on everyone out of grace
It is that those in power want to extend it on themselves, so that they could not be killed, jailed or exiled extrajudicially, just out of political expediency
I believe due process is important in every case, and I want to believe that having a mixed system eventually results in due process being skipped more and more, but the example from the end of the article goes against that: England and France diverged, so it’s possible for a mixed system to go either way?
