Best Answer

The Constitution of the United States was specifically designed to be flexible to the needs of the people. The writers recognized that society would not always be the same and that they were not putting down the law for all time in the original constitutional convention.

The individual amendments were all included for different reasons. Some of the most notable were the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. These in effect ended slavery, gave African Americans citizenship, and attempted to guarantee them the right to vote.
