Probably in the same sense that you can talk of a “well-crafted set of manacles.”

Browsing through the collection of Texas constitutions at the Tarleton Law Library of the University of Texas at Austin, where I found those two constitutions I cited, I also found the Constitution of Texas of 1845, adopted just before Texas was annexed. The summary of the Constitution put up by the Tarleton Law Library has this interesting statement: “Constitutional scholars consider it to have been one of the best-drafted state constitutions.”
The Constitution carries forward many of the provisions from the Republic of Texas Constitution, included continuing slavery and barring “Africans, and descendants of Africans” from civil rights.
So, according to the Tarleton Law School, a Constitution entrenching white supremacy is “one of the best-drafted state constitutions”?
Probably more in the sense of does what a constitution is supposed to do in a legal sense, without leaving too many loopholes, areas for interpretation, etc… not necessarily in the sense of what’s right or wrong.
