If legal bodies have to observe it, that means they should not be able to change it easily. Legal bodies can become corrupt which is exactly why we have a constitution. The constitution is strongly tied to legal precedent.
When it comes to politics, being able to convince people is all one really needs. You might expect better than that but it doesn't happen. Citing the Constitution is also not really an argument in the first place because its entire purpose is to be cited, and the courts look to it for guidance in deciding cases. That is what it is designed for. Allowing the Constitution to be changed easily would directly effect court decisions which would change what laws we allow. It's not just people that appeal to the Constitution, the entire legal system must obey it.
