Constitutions are strange beasts – they have the language of law but the framework they encode is ethical. And the ethics they attempt to construct are supposed to have a very long life and martial millions of people who will not have the same ethics as each other. By their very nature they need to be revisited because the very foundations of their thinking modify with advances in knowledge; so for example the vey real truth that we are actually animals with more brain power than other animals but nonetheless, far less rational that we would like to believe.
It is also fatuous to make reference to a god as an argument to accept anything that cannot be verified in other ways. If Constitutions cannot be changed then they ossify and loose relevance. And since every line of one is important any loss is devastating.
