I know about Jefferson and his 20 year automatic sunset phase for laws at all levels, except for Constitutions, charters, and other founding documents that can be amended. Hadn’t heard that Franklin wanted to sunset the Constitution itself as well. Not sure that we would have lasted this long if Franklin had gotten his way there.
Also Benjamin Franklin said that he believed constitution should torn up and redone every 30 years. We shouldn’t even be using it 200 years later.

Are you ready for some tearing up and redoing of constitution now?

No, I’m ready for something else though are you?

I’m flattered, but I’m not in the mood right now. I’ll be in my corner worrying about constitution redoings…

Do you really want to do that now knowing who would put an autograph there?
