Both types of Constitution come with pros and cons, but specifically talking about the benefits of having a shorter Constitution we can mention that it is easier for people to read and be aware of their rights and duties. Also, having a long Constitution can bring dualities that probably won't be found in a shorter Constitution, because it will be more objective, and treat every matter once.
