How so?

Before you answer, my belief is that, whatever can be accomplished with laws (current and new) and regulations (current and new), should be done without having to create amendments.

A lot of amendments are created to skip around current laws and regulations and rights, and far too many of them would demand funding that wasn't budgeted for, through the amendment or through current budgets. And, in some cases, amendments only required a majority of votes, which can be undone in future amendments. IOW, direct democracy is nonsensical.
