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?

The present power structure is too invested in the status quo. Changing the constitution, even if it would be demonstrably better for the people, would strip many powerful parties of their power, so they fight it.
