EU CONSTITUTION UNINTELLIGIBLE

There are a number of reasons for Europeans to reject the proposed constitution. Here's one:
This so-called "Constitution" or "Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe" (TCE) is unintelligible. No ordinary person has the time or background to understand it.

A Constitution should be comprehensible for the people it will govern. This text completely fails the test.

The Constitution of the United States of America is about 30 pages long - I suggest you check the length of your own national Constitution.

The European Constitution is 252 pages long in the French version and with all the protocols and annexes comes to 850.
Unintelligible, just as its drafters intended. Confusion is a valid management tool.
