Yes we Americans do get some relief every 4 years, but I wouldn't exactly call it a revolution. We get new faces, but the machinery is changed very slowly if at all. Most of the changes are superficial.
Our congress is barely manageable, just by its sheer size... Our President's are getting more and more off the wall with every election, and the Senate is as old as the hills. This form was for the most part developed by Jefferson and crew for a nation of significantly smaller size based upon the government he knew (monarchy/house of commons) blended with the ones he had reverence for (Roman, Greek).
It has served well but it still requires "maintainence", and it hasn't had enough lately. It is yet young as enduring governments go, will it
truly pass the test of time??? It's not likely that any of us today will be around long enough to find out. (unless it fails during our lifespan.) I'm more inclined to call it an evolution rather than a revolution... The problem is, are we evolving fast enough to not become extinct?
