The South responded to the Reconstruction Amendments, particularly the 14th Amendment, with opposition and resistance. Many Southerners viewed these amendments as a challenge to their way of life and as an infringement on states' rights. They sought to undermine these amendments through various legal and political strategies, such as implementing Black Codes and creating Jim Crow laws to limit the rights of freed slaves.

Another Amendment. Amendments may be changed only by a later amendment. If a particular amendment needs to be changed, it is not changed the way a law would be amended by deleting or adding wording. Amendments are changed by adoption of a later amendment that states that the prior amendment is changed in a certain way.
The seventeenth amendment changed the way the senators were elected. Initially the senators were elected directly by the people, but after the 17th amendment change, the senators are appointed by the state legislatures.
The way the constitution works, you do not just "change an amendment." You can only repeal or change what an earlier amendment with another amendment. An example of repealing an earlier example is how the 21st Amendment nullifies the 18th Amendment (Prohibition). This is also the case with many amendments that had mentioned slavery and how they were altered through new amendments. On a side note, if you meant to say "How many times has the Constitution been changed by the Amendments" then your answer is 27. As the purpose of the amendments was to keep the Constitution as a living document and prevent it from becoming outdated and irrelevant in some cases.
Because this is the way they wanted to make it
