Description: The RankedChoice contract includes hardcoded constants, such as MAX_CANDIDATES and i_presidentalDuration, without any accompanying explanation or rationale. This can make it difficult for others to understand the reasoning behind these values and adjust them if necessary.

Impact:

• Lack of Clarity: Without explanations, it is unclear why certain values were chosen, which can lead to confusion or incorrect assumptions about the contract's behavior.

• Difficulty in Maintenance: Future developers may struggle to modify or extend the contract if they do not understand the purpose of these constants.

• Potential Misconfiguration: Hardcoded values may not be suitable for all use cases, and without clear documentation, they may be incorrectly configured.

Proof of Concept: The contract includes hardcoded constants without explanation:

Recommended Mitigation:

• Add Comments to Explain Constants: Provide comments explaining the purpose and rationale behind each constant value.

• Consider Configurability: If appropriate, allow these values to be configurable at deployment or through governance mechanisms to accommodate different use cases.

• Document Assumptions: Clearly document any assumptions or constraints related to these constants to guide future developers and users.
