According to Article V, two provisions, one which has expired, the other still in effect may not be amended. The first was importation of slaves the prohibition of which was forbidden until the early 1800's. The second is that no state may, without its own consent, be deprived of its equal representation in the senate. As the Constitution mandates an amendment is passed at three fourths ratification of the states this effectively means this provision of the Constitution cannot be amended as it would require more ratification votes than the Constitution permits meaning the amendment itself would be unconstitutional.
