Why has the constitution been able to adapt to change?
The constitution has endured because it is updated from time to time depending on the time period. The people who update the Constitution update it using research about the modern time. Hopes this helps.
What is one reason the constitution has endured for more than two hundred years?
In my opinion, two reasons. It divides the sum total of all governmental powers and distributes them among three separate branches giving each some power over the other so that no one branch becomes all powerful. The second, and more important, is that we have good men and women who are willing to abide by rules set up in the Constitution rather than trying to take on all governmental power the way a dictator would.

Why has the constitution endured for more than 200 years?
I think this is a very tough question, but the answer might shed light on how to craft documents today that will stand the test of time. My own opinion is that, when it was being written, the men doing so had their eyes focused way down the road. Note the words "...blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity..." in the Preamble (I'm currently reading "The American Sphinx," which is an investigation into the mind and values of Thomas Jefferson. Strangely, he believed strongly that one generation could not bind the next one, a concept bordering on anarchy every 20 years or so. Fortunately, his views did not prevail, although given the current debt we are heaping on our progeny, maybe he got it right!). They certainly had differences between the states to consider (e.g. slavery) in order to even get started, however the overall tone and language of the Constitution is one of setting up administrative bodies composed of people, and creating procedures and constraints by and under which those bodies will operate. The Founding Dads knew that, for the Republic to endure, its Constitution had to endure well into the future too, and that they could not predict the issues and problems that would be encountered and actually prescribe rational solutions to them. Consequently, throughout the document and the amendments, you will find phrases such as: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. In essence, they drafted a Constitution that set up political structures populated by people who were elected (OK, sort of) by the entire (well, not exactly) population to represent them. They prescribed how these structures were to operate and interact, and placed prohibitions on certain fundamental actions (mainly in the Bill of Rights -- the Constitution itself is remarkably devoid of "Thou shalt not" language). They divided responsibilities between these institutions to assure that one or the other could not dominate the process. And they then placed responsibility for the resolution of all future issues, needs, and problems facing the Republic in the hands of those elected representatives at the time they were needed, subject to the procedures and structure laid out in their document. And, except for the fundamental concepts of freedom, liberty, and what we now loosely call "democracy," the Constitution steers well clear of the philosophical and religious questions that seem to dominate today's thinking.
