It continues to work pretty well though, and it was intended to hold beyond 1791. That was the hope.

Conditions are so very different now days, given the size of the county, it's tight economic/technological integration with the rest of the world, and the complexity of everything from government to the international market to healthcare to asymmetrical warfare in foreign lands.
