The Constitution is still the basis of government because no one has successfully rebelled against it and has been able to endure because of it's purposefully ambiguous and vague language. Phrases like necessary and proper and general welfare have allowed the government to evolve over time. The amendment process also helps to modify the document over time. Since it is flexible, it has been adapted and people seem generally happy with it.
