It should be difficult; it's a big ship and jerking the wheel backwards and forwards every few years won't leave people the ability to plan for the future. Of course the way things are going these days long term future plans aren't easily made, anyway.
So we change it. Article 5 is still laying right there, and we could've voted out entrenched power and replaced it. That's still an option on the table, but the people have to have a will to follow through and some places may take longer than others. It doesn't always go well.
