Did you know the average lifespan of National Constitutions is only about 17 years?

That's taken from all written constitutions since 1789...

Did you know that at the bright age of 241, the USA is THE OLDEST sovereign government to have ever existed?

Does it look like it's growing or dying to you?

Is it because humans are easily corruptible and power corrupts?
If so, would that suggest that attempting to assemble a large government is a fools errand- destined to ultimately fail?

The type of government doesn't seem to matter.. monarchies, democracies, republics, dictatorships, left wing, right wing...

What are we doing wrong?

Nothing. Since nothing's perfect this will too not b perfect. Also wasn't USA discovered after 1600's? With recent discovery of Vancouver in 1880's???

@Sazzio But America as a country was created in 1789, when America declared independence from England.

@CoxswainOtter Oh, ha. No. I hadn't reloaded the page yet after writing my initial comment, so I didn't see you had already answered him. So, I was just explaining to him, as you did.
