Do you honestly want to live in a country where the established foundations of government changed every 50 years? That kind of chaos and instability would be crushing. There are places like that right now, and first world countries they are not.

Hmm... Sounds to me like someone understood the need to update a country's systems with the cultural and technological progress of humanity.

You're right, which is why it should be slowly and continuously changed along with the times and through the mechanisms in place to do so, not drastically and sweepingly every 50 years or so. You don't throw out and replace the constitution or other foundations of law without massive societal upheaval, which is just as bad as permanent stagnation.

Can you imagine if that change happened during like 2018/19 when the government was full of people I liked slightly less than the people in their right now? That would have sucked.
