There have been 73 amendements to the constitution over 28 years. Experts on the subject usually point out that it actually changes too much and too often.

Indeed, but the point being that Brazil is at best OK at legislating still holds. A complete rewrite is long due.

It changes too often because the original text is way outdated, so legislators keep patching it up since that's a lot easier than rewriting it from ground up.
