If something is in the constitution, can it be unconstitutional?

If it was done under duress, or the amendment was not ratified by the requisite 2/3 majority, or is a violation of existing Constitutional terms.

"If it was done under duress, or the amendment was not ratified by the requisite 2/3 majority, or is a violation of existing Constitutional terms."

Did you learn that principle at Bob's Law School and Service Station?

What do you think amendments are for, if not to sometimes change the original terms of the Constitution? Do the 18th and 21st Amendments mean anything to you? Or how about the 12th Amendment? Where do you come up with this stuff?
