That makes it a bit harder to go read, don't you think?

It also lacks a fundamental feature the US Constitution has in being umambiguously final. No other law can supersede it. Interpreting an entire corpus of law as a 'constitution' is grossly inaequate.

The U.S. Constitution is far from unambiguous, and U.S. constitutional law can only be understood as a corpus of precedents which explain the meaning of terms which are open to interpretation, like 'due process' or 'freedom of speech.'

I didn't say that the Constitution was unambiguous, but that it is unambiguously the final law.
