High aspect ratio and increased control surface effectiveness

Good morning,

Does someone know why an increased aspect ratio of a control surface increases its control effectiveness ?

And can someone tell me why vertical tails with low aspect ratio are generally used ? I read that it's to prevent stalling. But why does it protect from stall ?

Thank a lot
Emmanuel.
