Constitutions - US vs EU

Someone told me the other day that while the US constitution is only 2 pages long, the proposed EU constitution is over a 1000. So I had a look.

Well, it's not THAT bad, but it's not far off, as you can see from the copies I've found below:

Proposed EU Constitution (from the BBC: 325 pages of PDF.

US Constitution (from USConstitution.net, including amendments): about 30 pages of HTML.

Just think how easy it is to hide stuff in a long boring document, and then think why the EU constitution is as long as it is.
