Depends do you think handing the project over to the most skilled rule lawyers counts as a solution? Constitutions are brilliant for rule lawyers since the darn things are so hard to modify once they find a way to exploit them.
I know precisely what you mean, but I'm really not sure that would be worse than what we have now.
The problem is the grey areas and ambiguities.
We can't possibly legislate everything; there will be interpretation, and conflicting principles in real world cases.
"We just trust good people" scales until not all the good people agree on everything, and then scales with the culturally aggressive people set until there are so many of us that we explode.
