Ours was the first written constitution, but by comparison with European constitutions in the Napoleonic Code system, ours lacks detail. Specificity in the constitution itself lessens the need for judicial interpretation of the same. I personally think our constitutional rights need to be more detailed than they are to reduce the role of judges when the government wants to abridge our rights.
