If we’re being fair, a government running without revolution for 250 years is pretty old. Many of the oldest establishments in the US are likely to stand after a revolution or civil war, much like pubs and restaurants in Europe.
I believe the US constitution is the second oldest still valid constitution of the world, after the constitution of San Marino. I’m not sure it’s a good thing though: I tend to believe that every generation should rewrite their constitution.

It’s a constitution that still explicitly allows slavery, so yeah, it’s actually out of date.
