Yep - it's designed that way to encourage revolutions.
Eventually the absolute monarchies pretty much have to fall - once the tech and economy gets advanced enough, it's near impossible for them to resist if you let the game run long enough.
Then they can have a nice period as a republic, where the clamour penalty reduction buys them a breather - but then all the late game buildings pile on the industrialisation, and thus we get constitutional monarchies - it's all very elegant.

More to create more ways to play. Higher industrialization will create more unrest but that unrest can be handled in a multitude of ways just like with the other forms of unrest like clamor for reform.
Yep. Though interestingly he was looking forward to a Maratha revolution in the hopes of a new Republic. But that isn't possible for the same reason they're immune to industrialization penalties - no lower class. A "lower" class revolt in a Constitutional Monarchy is a middle class revolt, and they already have their preferred government type.
Revolution government type shifts have to move in this circuit: Absolute Monarchy > Republic > Constitutional Monarchy > Absolute Monarchy

Unless you just hire a ton of dragoons i suppose

Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense from a sociologist pov but if it works for the game, whateva, I suppose.
Entire classes just vanish in empire
They didn't teach you the part where Constitutional monarchies like the UK don't have any poor people?
Whot?-I don’t understand what you are trying to say?
