<span>Without amendments, we are stuck with what some guys thought would be nice over 200 years ago. A few things we took out of the constitution by amendment: Slaves count as 3/5 of a person. The incoming president must wait five months after being elected to take office. Electoral college for senators (now--can we get rid of it for presidents?) We also filled in holes that were evident in the constitution, and clarified more rights that people have. The Bill of Rights is all amendments--they wanted a working government first before they decided what limits to put on it. Women were allowed to vote.

The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was passed in order to make sure that all
Americans could exercise their right to vote. It was the first civil
rights legislation passed since reconstruction. Its enactment also came after African Americans were increasingly targeted with violence following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision ending segregation in schools. The law showed a renewed national attention to
guaranteeing civil rights to all Americans. In addition, it established the Commission on Civil Rights, a federal oversight committee that examined opinions of the public and state laws regarding civil rights.
I believe the answer would be France.
