Let's say sometime after the US Revolutionary War, the UK found it a good idea to have a single, unified constitutional document which would be easily referenced as containing the legal authority for the nation and empire and limits on power, rather than the dozen or so documents (Magna Carta, Bill of Rights 1689, Crown and Parliament Recognition Act 1689, etc) that are currently being used.
How would such a document be worded and constituted? Which rights would be included therein, and powers to the Parliament and Monarchy?

And if such a thing were done, what would the effects be today on the UK?
