"Go back further and you'll find that the Roman Republic amended itself often enough to last 450 years. It did so not by declaring rights on paper, but rather by setting up institutions whose natural, structural interests tended to secure the liberty of the people"
I do hope that you know that Roman Republic devolved into the Roman Empire at the end of that 450 years where the rights of the people flowed from the Emperor. Who is to say that we aren't already at that break point.

Exactly. Is Barry Hussein Palpatine that restored emperor, or do we continue the search: "The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come."?
