I think this is one of the most nuanced and important discussions never had in civics class. The right of the majority to dictate through government vs the rights of the minority. Is our bill of rights beyond reach of government? If not then, are they still rights?
No. There is no evidence I know of of any society having resisted change. They have all evolved culturally and intellectually. Its a thing societies do.

Of course they evolve, my question is more along the lines of what path they follow. If a society can evolve to be more liberated/free/liberal then it makes sense they should be able to evolve to be more authoritarian/restricted/conservative ... by have any?

The moral arc is generally positive but we shouldn't count on it remaining so. Even if it only backtracks temporarily like in the fascist/communist genocides and hopefully in the Iranian revolution its enough to ruin millions of lives.
