I don’t really see how adding ammendments to the Constitution will cause people who violate the Constitution with impunity to all at once start abiding by it because of new ammendments.

"...people who violate the Constitution with impunity to all at once start abiding by it..."

Some parts of the Constitution have not been violated, such as the Presidential Term Limit. Would term limits for Congress and SCOTUS be ignored?

This is an example of a structural change that Levin is proposing, among others.

By your logic, ammendments can do no harm.
