Constitution requires careful planning

When we want to build a house, we draw a blueprint and build accordingly. We don't just build it on a whim and tear it down later because we don't like it.

It’s the same with drafting the constitution. We have to know what we want and draft accordingly. For example, do we want to shield certain group of politicians from politics for good? Do we want Parliament to be without a majority? Do we want to disfranchise a certain class of voters because they don’t know what’s good for them? Do we want the military to hold legislative power?
Stop beating around the bush. The constitution doesn’t have to be beautiful as long as it works for us.
