Before we even think about changing the constitution we need to figure out how we can force the government to follow the current one. The overwhelming majority of our problems come from failure to abide by the current constitution, not because of flaws in the constitution. I have often said that the drive to change the constitution is like a diabetic who insists that he needs a new medicine because his metformin is not doing the job but fails to mention that he is not taking it but is eating candy bars instead. Our government hardly bothers to even pretend to follow the constitution now.

The Federal government IS following the current Constitution as changed by court decisions etc for over 200 years.
We need a COS and amendments to turn that back to at least closer to the original intent of the Framers.
