As a recovering ex-resident of California, I am well aware of a movement to convoke a State Constitutional Assembly. You see, the current
California Constitution as adopted in 1879 originally had 24 pages. But over the years it has been subjected to over 500 amendments, bulging into a 75,000 word monstrosity. It is clear that this constitution, and other similarly Progressive inspired documents, are broken with obfuscations and contradictions. Thus, there is a
MOVEMENTafoot, to start from scratch and redo the whole darned thing from scratch.
But knowing the likely composition of the future Constitutional Drafters, I warn all to beware of what you wish for.

Dammit, in order to vote, I had to swear a solemn oath in front of God and everybody to support silly doodah nonsensical things which I later voted against!
A Constitution should be general, and not specific. It should not have very many words in it.
