you have to be practical. First, when you are writing a
|
2
|
constitution, I believe that any constitution should be
|
3
|
written as briefly as possible. I think the less you put
|
4
|
into it, the better document you are going to have. By

10
|
constitutional amendments down there and after they are

11
|
adopted, then we find out we either left something out
|
12
|
or should put something in. So, again we go and adopt

|
another constitutional amendment to make up for the
|
14
|
mistakes.

the more you do by statute, the better off you are; but
|

18
|
in theory to try to get everything that you can do to
|
19
|
make it a better document, but I also think you have to
|
20
|
look at the practical aspect of it; that you want the
|
21
|
people to adopt a new constitution and in order to get
