      That’s interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.

      My point is having a very old constitution isn’t much of a boast if keeping it as-is causes political issues.

      Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution

        Which is honestly meaningless but very convenient for US narrations. There were also older de facto constitutions, which are usually forgotten like the Henrician Articles of P-L Commonwealth. US constitution is famous because it was the one which was loudly proclaimed and imitated later.
