How can you undo an amendment to the constitution?
If it hasn't yet been ratified by three-quarters of the states, all you have to do is prevent some of them from ratifying it. For instance: the Child Labor Amendment, passed in 1924, was ratified by only 28 states. If you want to "undo" it, all you have to do is watch out for any state that discusses passing it, and lobby the state's legislature not to do it.If it has been passed and ratified, the only option is to pass another amendment reversing it. This has been done once (the 21st amendment reversed the 18th).

There are two ways to propose an Amendment to the US Constitution: 1. An amendment may be introduced and pass both houses of Congress (House of Representatives and the Senate) by a majority of at least two-thirds (66.7%) of a quorum (not necessarily 2/3 of the full body). 2. Or, a Constitutional Convention may be convened if two-thirds of the states' legislatures call for a convention. Once the convention is convened, any amendment may be introduced, discussed and voted on. Once an Amendment is proposed by either process above, then it must be Ratified by three-quarters (75%) of the states (currently 38), either by a vote of the state legislature or state convention.
What does article 5 of the constitution?
Article V of the Constitution explains the amendment process of the Constitution, that is, how the Constitution may be amended. There are two processes for proposing amendments, either by two-thirds vote in each house of Congress or by an Article V Convention. All amendments thus far to the Constitution have been by proposal of Congress. The reason a convention to propose amendments, or Article V Convention has never been called despite the 750 applications from all 50 states, is because Congress refuses to obey the Constitution and call the convention. The Constitution mandates that if two-thirds of the state legislatures (34) apply for a convention, Congress must call it. A convention can only propose amendments to the present Constitution and is not empowered to write or propose a new or replacement Constitution. Regardless of how an amendment is proposed it must be ratified in the states either by three fourths vote in the state legislatures or by three fourths vote in state ratifying conventions. The method of ratification is by choice of Congress but Congress has no power to withhold a proposed amendment or veto it once it has been ratified. Once an amendment is ratified, it becomes part of our present Constitution.
