It'll just make it even easier for politicians to obscure their violations, since most of the public will understand it. Constitutions don't need to be self-executing, they need to be an effective tool for the public to hold government accountable to, and if the problem is that the public doesn't care enough to hold government accountable, no amount of reforming the Constitution is going to help -- the thing you have to do first is convince the public again that it is important to have a government accountable to limits set by the public.
