With all due respect, this is an incredibly simplistic view of the UK system.
And no, 'technically' the King does NOT select the government. Like the US, the UK system of government evolved as a system of law and order. The King, or Monarch, is as subject to the (UK) law as Presidents Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump are.
But, let me ask you. Are Bush and Clinton really subject to the law? If not, why not? Is the problem here the US constitution? Or something else?
The basis for the US constitution AND the UK constitution is the same established foundation of common law. They differ, but there is a LOT more in common than there are differences.
