Why is a unwritten constitution better?
It is not. An "unwritten" constitution can be modified whenever it is convenient to do so, because since nobody bothered to write it down, everybody has their own concepts of what it says. Because it can mean anything, it actually means nothing at all. A written constitution has the advantage that it is written down; there are words in ink on paper. People can try to re-interpret what they think it OUGHT to mean, as happens with the U.S. Constitution, but at least everybody has to start with the words as they actually exist.
