Because over time the needs and wishes of the people do change. When the US Constitution was written, the term "All Men" as in 'all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights' didn't mean 'all persons'. It meant 'all the adult white men' and excluded women, slaves and their descendants, and probably non-citizens.
If the Constitution were not amendable, this would still be the circumstance today. Instead, through the amendment process the rights and protections granted through the US Constitution have been expanded to include all persons within the jurisdiction of any state.
