Give reasons why the nature of the Quran changed from short to long verses when it was revealed in Madina (10 mks)

The nature of Quran changed from short to long verses.

Madina Surahs were addressing larger communities than the Makkan Surah.
They went addressing a more enlightened community.
It dealt with social matters such as marriage, divorce, social relationship which needed further elaborating whereas Makkah Surah mainly dealt with attributes of Allah.
Madina Surahs dealt with faith on an international level whereas the Makkan Surahs all addressing to smaller community.
Madinah Surah dealt with governance of a state which need explanation, but when the Makkan Surah were revealed the city had not grown to a state.
Madinah Surahs discuss regulations about wars, distribution of booty, treatment of prisoners of war while in Makkan Surah there were no wars and therefore no injunctions arrest.
Madinah were pious people unlike Makkan who needed explanation on how to deal with hypocrites and enemies of Islam.
Madina and Surahs gives explanations on commercial matters while Makkan Surah mention commercial activities.
