They usually justify it by saying it's to prevent the tyranny of the majority (two wolves and a sheep biting on dinner).

But a case could be made that it's a way to keep the elite entrenched.

Kinda makes sense. Would make more if the number of terms were the limiting factor. Two and you're out for life. Sement that, no alleviating factors.

Who knows, maybe they even have that in place already.
