Short constitutions tend to be vague in their content, meaning they are more accurate, more likely to be assured your rights.

Answer:

The benefits of having a shorter written constitution is that short constitutions help create a debate about what our values are as a society and it also reminds the people and the government of the responsibilities each have.

Step-by-step explanation:

Long constitutions tend to be too technical in their content, meaning they are more accurate but it actually hampers debate among the common people because of the complexity and sometimes vagueness of the interpretation of the law.
