The US Constitution contains a method by which it can be amended. There is no limit to the amount of amendment that can be done, provided that the necessary votes are obtained both in Congress and in the state legislatures, so if you amend every part of the constitution, you will then have an entirely new constitution and thereby have gotten rid of the old one. If that process is too laborious, you could also convene a new constitutional convention, write a new constitution, and present it to the states for their approval.

Why did the writers of the constitution make sure amendments could be added to the constitution?

When the Constitution was first proposed to the 13 colonies, many colonies rejected it because it did not give them the freedoms or rights that they had demanded from the King of England. They demanded that these things be added to the Constitution before they would ratify it. To be productive and to get rid of the Articles of Confederation (the quickly drawn precursor to the Constitution), the Constitution was accepted on the condition that several amendments be attached shortly thereafter. Thus the Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 and the first 10 amendments were adopted on August 21, 1789, which later became collectively known as the Bill of Rights. In summary, the writers of the Constitution made sure amendments could be added as it was the only way to quickly get the Constitution ratified.


What delegates to the constitutional convention get rid of the articles of confederation?

In a sense.The Constitutional Convention, in itself, did not replace the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution was created at the Convention and it was based upon some of the ideals that the Articles of Confederation had, but had changed many things.So, in a sense, no. The Constitutional Convention did notreplace the Articles of Confederation, but the Constitution that was created then did.
