Confused with a long sentence
Hello! I have gotten totally confused by the following sentence.
-Great Britain is a parliementary democracy with the constitutional monarch, though the rights of subjects mainly deduce from factual judicial decisions called "the precedents" which are the means of defence in case of infringement of the rights.
Is there anything wrong here?

seems OK to me, but: parliamentary perhaps you should focus on the definitions of deduce and precedents do you know what they mean?

Please keep in mind I have no idea if this sentence is correct in its facts, and I spell American:

Hi GG,
Pretty good from an American! The only suggestion I'd offer for improvement would be to say the rights . . . derive from . . . decisions. In other words, I'd use 'derive' in active voice. This seems to me more appropriately legalistic in this context.
Generally speaking, I'd say the constitutional facts of this sentence are correct.
