there have been 27 amendments to the the constitution, as well as countless laws enacted that augment and/or modify the role and function of government and governmental institutions, to which all other arenas of human organization respond and change.

Btw you most likely don't have any actual knowledge about premodern aesthetics so don't act too smart about your "objective" approach to analysis.

>don't act too smart

>your "objective" approach to analysis
