A Constitutional amendment could abolish slavery but it couldn’t abolish racism. A Constitutional amendment could give women the right to vote but it couldn’t abolish misogyny. Symptoms can be legally remedied but their roots must be addressed at a deeper level: within ourselves.

It could have, but it didn't. Slavery is still allowed in the USA, all you have to do is convict someone of a crime.
