The Constitution includes a mechanism to amend it, and that process was used correctly to make amendments and now the document includes more than just whites.

What is the correct method for amending the constitution?

Is it okay to use an army to invade the state, take over it's government, deny it's citizens the right to vote, put in place a puppet government, and then get those puppet governments to ratify amendments?

I would just like to understand the correct amendment process. I hope you can reassure me that the process outlined above is acceptable.

I think it is acceptable in some circumstances.

“The US Constitution can be amended through a two-step process: proposal and ratification. Amendments can be proposed by either a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or by a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. Ratification requires approval by three-fourths of the states, either through their legislatures or by conventions.”
