The Constitution can not be amended without the approval of 34 of the state legislatures?
Actually, the U.S. Constitution can be amended through two main processes, one of which requires the approval of 34 state legislatures. Specifically, an amendment can be proposed by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or by a convention called for by two-thirds of state legislatures. Once proposed, an amendment must be ratified by three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the state legislatures or conventions in the states.
What provision in the Constitution is not subject to amendment through Article V?
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.

How does the constitution be amended?
Article V of the Constitution prescribes how an amendment can become a part of the Constitution. While there are two ways, only one has ever been used. All 27 Amendments have been ratified after two-thirds of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and send it to the states for a vote. Then, three-fourths of the states must affirm the proposed Amendment. The other method of passing an amendment requires a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States. That Convention can propose as many amendments as it deems necessary. Those amendments must be approved by three-fourths of the states. The actual wording of Article V is: "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."

How can the constitution be informally amended by basic legislation?
The Constitution can be informally amended through basic legislation by Congress passing laws that interpret its provisions in new ways, thereby shaping the application of constitutional principles. For example, laws that establish specific rights or procedures can expand or clarify constitutional guarantees without formally altering the text. This process allows for flexibility and adaptation to changing societal needs while maintaining the Constitution's foundational framework. Such legislative actions, along with judicial interpretations, contribute to the evolving understanding of constitutional rights and responsibilities.
