Did the founding fathers intend for the US Constitution to be easy or difficult to amend?
Difficult, but doable with broad public support.The Constitution calls for the proposal of a constitutional amendment to be passed by 2/3 of both houses of Congress (or 2/3 of a national convention called by Congress--never been done). A 2/3 majority is hard to come by in Congress...that's the same majority needed to overturn a presidential veto, which rarely occurs.After an amendment is proposed, it has to be ratified by either 3/4 of the state legislatures or 3/4 of state conventions. All but 1 of the amendments have been ratified by state legislatures. The one exception was the 21st amendment, dealing with the repeal of Prohibition, which was ratified by state conventions.Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, the first 10 came early on as a condition for the ratification of the Constitution. The other 17 have been scattered over 200 years of history.So, the process is difficult, but changes can be made. Had the Founders made the amendment process easier, it would have weakened the document and our government because of the fickle nature of public opinion. This would have led to legal uncertainties with an ever-changing constitution.Incidentally, this reasoning also led to the division of Congress into two houses.

Why has it been difficult to resolve the meanings of the second third ninth and tenth amendments in the US Constitution?
The Ninth and Tenth Amendments do not guarantee rights and thus there is an ongoing debate about the meaning of these amendments. The meanings of these amendments are quite ambigous because of the language and there are consequently numerous interpretations. For example, the Tenth amendment was designed to reserve powers to the states and two theories about this amendment were that it states the nature of American federalism but adds nothing to the Constitution as originally ratified and that it protects the powers of the states against national government.
Ratification of an Amendment must come within what time period?
Beginning with the 23rd Amendment, Congress has imposed a seven year limit upon the time in which the requisite number of states (75%) must approve/ratify an amendment in order for it to become effective. However, this time limit is not Constitutional in nature and could be modified or dropped with the promulgation of any new amendments. Prior to 1917, there was no deadline for states to ratify amendments.
How did the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments change the nature of the federal Union?
The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in the union. Until the amendment was passed legality of slavery was left to the states to determine. The 14th and 15th amendments were emotional reactions to the abhorrent institution of slavery. Their scope was meant to diminish the ability of a state, or group of states, to effectively mount a future resistance to federal authority on the scale that came very close to succeeding in the civil war. The 14th amendment made the first 10 amendments weaker by delegating new authority to the federal government. The 9th and 10th amendments affirmed the right of the states to control issues within their borders. The 14th amendment took that right from the states and gave it to the federal government.
