10 were immediate, then a flood of them for this small window of time and then back to nothing. All of it starting the progressive feelings and social stuff. Some were good things but also had other impacts that allowed them to hurt or enslave the people they were "helping".

Look to see who was behind all the changes.

Usually, liberals or progressives are the ones who try to change things, and conservatives are the ones who fight changes.  It's right there in the definition.  If something goes haywire about how the constitution is being interpreted, a conservative might propose an amendment to restore the original interpretation, but so far we haven't passed one like that.  After the first 10, they are all liberal or progressive for their time.  

Even things conservatives often say they like and want, like a balanced budget amendment or a term limits amendment, these are actually liberal ideas when you consider how we've survived over 200 years with a budget almost never in balance and term limits never enforced.
