16. The same way every other Constitutional Amendment does and the same solution
Edited on Sat Sep-10-11 02:21 PM by Uncle Joe
of Constitutional Amendments can apply to those other causes as well.

I also disagree with the post up-thread that the Founders didn't envision the Constitution lasting this long, that was their goal and that's the primary reason they gave adaptability/flexibility to the Constitution by allowing it to change with the times via Amendments.

Edit to add, It's not easy to change, because stability was and is also important.
