Simplicity of the US Constitution

Tomgee, a poster on Townhall.com says it best in reference to the Constitution:

One of the founding fathers' great achievements was that they wrote a brief instruction manual for self-government in plain English. You need to be literate but you don't need to go to law school to understand it. The founding fathers wanted to build a country where ordinary people could succeed; where you didn't have to be a powdered-wig cousin of a noble or hire a $400/hr expert every five minutes to interpret the rule book for you.
