1. The way the founders envisioned was by another amendment being passed that would repeal the old one. But this took much effort, and required that the majority of the people in the nation agree.

2. So an easier way was found. Simply contrive a test case, and let the Supreme Court use their years of legal experience to write a pages long opinion on why "Congress shall make no law..." really means "Congress shall make any law..." This invalidates any amendment, without the bothersome necessity of another amendment being passed.
