The American Constitution, as Written, Was Not Designed to Cover in Every Detail

Every constitution, even if its very detailed, has a body of interpretation associated with it. The great chief justice of the united states, john marshall, in an opinion gave a broad definition of the constitution. He said that the constitution does not speak with the prolixity of a legal code. But yes, you will have constitutions to day that run to hundreds and hundreds of pages. Some countries have very long constitutions; others are more compact.
