This excercise is ridiculous without knowing about culture / resources etc of the land. Places like Syria (before the Civil War), and Argentina (before going broke) had beautiful constitutions that were never enforced because of how different reality on the ground was from what the country could offer.
The constitution would say "law makers will make laws and be elected from the 50 regions every four years. one chamber will represent the states equally, one the population equally by state. the law will be interpreted by the courts to protect liberty and to settle the disputes of the masses under the laws of each state. an executive will enforce the law, upon election and wage wars the law makers view as necessary to defense and liberty. no man is to hurt another man, but is free to do as he pleases otherwise, save for making laws. the government is not to be used to harm another man, financially, with violence, or otherwise, except in self defense during war"
I would build a country similar to the US if it was in Western Europe, or North America, but with specific guidelines to reduce privacy / corruptability of law makers. Essentially, all meetings between law makers and large donators would be filmed for scrutiny, and people offering money for creating power that benefits corporation a at the expense of corporation b would be guilty of "capitalism fraud", and the law maker would be removed from office and prevented from returning to elected office. I would also abolish the income tax and all welfare / minimum wage / social security restrictions that exist now, but replace it all with a negative flat income tax starting from birth, indexed to 150% of median income (i.e. making 150% of median income results in no pay out or tax). Essentially: NFIT = (Income * 0.25) - $10,000. Not working (say a kid or a retired person) would get $10,000. At $30,000 in income you'd get $2,500. At $50,000 you'd pay $2,500. If kids collected the $10,000 each year, that would pay for college and education in a private setting so you could lower property taxes at the state level. More people would retire sooner, after owning property and building enough wealth to pay for old age health care, so you'd also have more laborers. Everybody would probably make a bit less money, but goods would be far cheaper, and healthcare would be affordable for all. With millions more having substantially more spending power, and no minimum wage, people of all skill sets could be gainfully employed, or at least perpetually re-educated to eventually be satisfied with their job. Jubilee exceptions would also be implemented for life events - with each person being able to claim a full exemption for producing a child, marrrying, or paying for a funeral. Sales / consumption / tarrif taxes would pay for everything.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
