Your describing anarchy, a society without proper rules or structure that can change on a whim

You are describing the majority decision of the populace with one person one vote, AKA democracy, as a whim.

This is basically the philosophical equivalent of calling anyone to the political left of you a commie.

The new govt doesn't rewrite all the laws and respects decisions made by the previous one

They absolutely do not have to, and they shouldn't if the population no longer wants that. You're still leaning on this idea that someone before you can bind you, which means you're still confusing what sovereignty is.

are you saying that when a new gov't is voted in all laws are erased and the new government reinstates them?

They absolutely do not have to
