So what? The reason why we don't have 231 constitutional amendments, is because we allow matters to be decided by individual states, rather than imposing a national solution through the consent of 3/4 of the states.

So then, can any state, at it's citizen's discretion, via voting polls or thru their representatives -Confiscate all firearms from the public? Declare 'atheism' the official state religion? Abolish the press?

I don't think so, those are issues that we have already decided. There are certain fundamental rights that are not to be violated. But that doesn't mean that you have to litter the consitution with just about every issue.
