A good written constitution must possess three characteristics: brief, broad, and definite.
Brief: since its outlines the objectives of the state not on a limited scope but in a measurable extent. It is a written instrument that should not contain many details in form.
Broad: in its extent with the purpose of outlining the framework of the organization of the state. A declaration of domains and functions of the government, and the interrelationships between those in power and the governed, necessitates an extensive or broad document.
Definite: The possible inclusion of vague or unclear words or phrases having two or more possible meanings may cause conflict of interpretation.
