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.
