I'd like to see some discussion on the merits or disadvantages of constructive raises. Does anyone out there have any feelings on the subject? Also consider if being a passed hand makes a difference. The definition of a constructive raise is generally a raise of opener's major suit bid shows 8-9 points in support. Otherwise you must use a forcing no trump call. Obvious advantages include greater accuracy in game tries. But sacrifices include lack of preemptive value and partner is never aware of a suit fit for sure(you could take a preference with a doubleton). Please comment on the relative value of these various points and others you may bring up.
