People have different views about holding referendums for this purpose. My view is that national referendums would have nothing to do with constitutionality, but would only be a vote of what the people want or believe. Many, if not most people do not know what the constitution says or how to apply it to controversial issues like abortion, so a referendum would not actually determine an issue's constitutionality. We have a Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of issues and even they do not always agree on the constitutionality of controversial issues.

Important issues included the rights of states, agreeing on the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments after the Constitution was ratified, and one of the most contentious issues: How was the issue of continuing slavery in the South going to be handled?
Amendments are added to the Constitution to address specific issues.
There are more issues not addressed by the Constitution as time progresses. The Constitution was a document accepted in 1787, and it is impossible to address all the issues left out of the Constitution.
