Talking about the series, Will Smith said that they are living in "unprecedented days" as a society, as a country, and as a human family, reported Deadline. He believes that the cultivation of personal and historical understanding is the imperative spark igniting the flames of desperately needed compassion and healing. The actor stated that as Americans, they endeavour to form a more "perfect union" that truly establishes justice and equality for all. He believes a deeper understanding of the 14th Amendment is a "critical" jumping-off point. The actor mentioned that their hope with this series is to "illuminate the beauty" that is the promise of America and to share a message of connection and shared humanity so that they will be able to better understand and celebrate their different experiences as Americans and promote progress toward the true equality promised to all persons under the 14th amendment.

Executive producer Larry Wilmore said that he hopes families can watch Amend together and have the series be a compelling conversation starter. He mentioned that everything they have seen happen in America in the last few years is about what "Black people and other marginalized groups" have always wanted: to make sure that they are really part of America and have everything that’s been promised to them by the Constitution. Wilmore thinks it would be "really fantastic" if Amend helped people to better understand how special the bond can be between each of them and the country.
