Why this is the answer
The Constitution is changed by amendments. An amendment is a formal change or addition to the Constitution, and the amendment process is set out in Article V. It is intentionally difficult: an amendment must be proposed by a large majority, usually two-thirds of both houses of Congress, and then ratified by three-fourths of the states.
