My perspective is probably biased, but this lack of stability also means a chance for a modern legal and political framework, without the centuries of cruft and corruption and deadlock that feature in the American system.
There’s also a greater willingness to look into the fundamentals of the system and make changes if necessary, since it’s just seen as having been made by flawed human beings rather than the wise and enlightened “Founding Fathers”.
It didn’t “end” with a dictatorship. Social change continued for a century, in which the people gained more and more power to the detriment of autocrats, until the establishment of today’s strong liberal democracy. The millennia-old institutions that opposed this change couldn’t be replaced in a day.
