As in, if i ever go below this or that treshold, i want democratic neighbours to restore the nation. Or have a backUp Voting system, that if people do not show up to a vote in full majority autorestores a constitution.

The US Constitution does sort of have a back-up voting system in that it allows a supermajority of states to convene a new constitutional convention and rewrite the document however they like.

Imagine a constitution under git history, having a hard reset to a previous "tag", by majority absent vote to uphold it.
