Detailed explanation-1: -Those who crafted the Constitution felt it has to be in accordance with people’s aspirations and changes in society. They did not see it as a sacred, static and unalterable law. So, they made provisions to incorporate changes from time to time. These changes are called Constitutional amendments.
Detailed explanation-2: -Any existing constitutional amendment can be repealed but only by the ratification of another amendment. Because repealing amendments must be proposed and ratified by one of the same two methods of regular amendments, they are very rare.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution in 1787. They wanted a “living document.” This means the Constitution can change with the country. A change to the Constitution is called an amendment. In 1791, a list of ten amendments was added.
