Why should certain cultural practices be abolished?
Culture can be considered a living creature. With the progression of time, certain aspects and practices of a culture become unnecessary or become unpopular with the changing population. As new ideas are adopted by a society, older ideas lose favor or are in conflict with the new ideas. For instance, adherents to Jewish culture are forbidden to eat the flesh of animals that are proclaimed unclean, but Christianity, an offshoot of Judaism, does not follow this cultural practice as it is seen as outdated and not applicable. Another example of a cultural practice that was abolished (for most nations) is slavery. In previous times, the concept of slavery was acceptable as it provided labor, and put conquered populations to work that would otherwise be idle and possibly revolt against the conquerors. However, with the idea of liberty, freedom, and democracy, slavery lost favor and has been largely abolished.
How many times have the amendments been changed?
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 As the purpose of the amendments was to keep the Constitution as a living document and prevent it from becoming outdated and irrelevant in some cases.
