Constitutional Amendments & the Founding Fathers

This is a quote from Focus on the Family’s CitizenUpdate:

“Constitutions should consist only of general provisions;
the reason is that they must necessarily be permanent, and
that they cannot calculate for the possible change of
things.”
–Alexander Hamilton

Wouldn’t this negate the proposed Constitutional amendment on gay-marriage? Was there lesson learned with the Prohibition amendments?
