How can the United States Constitution be changed?
Assuming this question is about the US constitution: The constitution can only be amended, existing text cannot be modified or deleted. However, amendments can invalidate previous parts (for instance, the 21st amendment repealed the 18th amendment). There are two ways to start an amendment: One is for both houses of the US Congress must pass the amendment with a two-thirds majority. The second is for two-thirds of the states to vote to convene a constitutional convention which will draft the amendment (the latter method has never been used successfully). After either of those occur, three-fourths of the states must vote to ratify the amendment. This can either be done by votes in the state legislatures, or be requiring that each state convene a special convention to ratify the amendment (the latter method has only been successfully used to ratify the 21st amendment).
