What is this Constitutional Law one-pager best for?

Use it as a fast recall reset before you do active practice. It is designed to put the core frameworks back into working memory, not replace question practice.

How should I pair this page with the rest of the public library?

Scan the one-pager first, then open the matching deep dive for full doctrine or the matching most-tested page for review priority. After that, move into a drill or mixed set.
