France.

Yes, France comes close. But their legal system takes them down a notch. Even though their bill of rights says you are innocent until proven guilty, their legal system does just the opposite. They also don't have a bill of rights that protects speech and religion and the ownership of guns. For example, the freedom of speech is subject to such abuses as are defined by law. That's no freedom at all. Freedoms cannot be circumscribed by laws. Even if the people allow the legislature to pass such laws, they are null and void, and a free citizen is not required to obey them. Only by force can the state enforce the loss of rights. That is what makes the American system stand apart from the rest. All other systems subjugate the rights of the citizens to the law.
