alt Hacker NewsThe slow pace of change is a feature, not a bug. It's fine to wait decades or centuries until we have broad consensus before making amendments. While this might seem maddeningly frustrating or unjust in the short term, in the long term it makes our republic more stable. The USA has had an uninterrupted system of government since 1789. How many other major countries can say the same?

To a point. It seems to have ground to a halt.

Quite a few of them can say "we took those good ideas and built on them".
