How many times have the amendments been changed?
The way the constitution works, you do not just "change an amendment." You can only repeal or change what an earlier amendment with another amendment. An example of repealing an earlier example is how the 21st Amendment nullifies the 18th Amendment (Prohibition). This is also the case with many amendments that had mentioned slavery and how they were altered through new amendments. On a side note, if you meant to say "How many times has the Constitution been changed by the Amendments" then your answer is 27. As the purpose of the amendments was to keep the Constitution as a living document and prevent it from becoming outdated and irrelevant in some cases.

Is it possible to repeal an amendment to the Constitution.?
Absolutely not. The Supreme Court considers the Constitution the supreme law on which they base all their decisions. Only Congress and the States can change the Constitution. In order to repeal an amendment, Congress has to agree on a new amendment that specifically overrides another part of the Constitution. This Amendment would be added to the Constitution, but the text of the older rule would not be removed, despite being obsolete. One example of this is the 11th Amendment, which revoked the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction to hear cases involving disputes between a state and the citizens of another state. Another example is when Congress passed the 21st Amendment to repeal the 18th Amendment (Prohibition). In order to Amend the Constitution, the measure must pass both the House and Senate by a 2/3 (supermajority) vote. It is then submitted to the states, which are given a "reasonable amount of time" (often 7 years) in which to review and decide whether to ratify the Amendment. As soon as 3/4 of the states vote to ratify, the new Amendment is adopted and becomes law. Unlike ordinary legislation, the Constitution is not subject to judicial review.
