Yes, since 1791, various amendments to the Constitution have improved our society by expanding the rights and protections afforded to citizens and by addressing issues related to inequality and discrimination. For example, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and provided equal protection under the law, the 15th Amendment granted the right to vote to African American men, and the 19th Amendment granted the right to vote to women. These amendments and others have played a significant role in making our society more inclusive and democratic. Hope this helped
