If they want to change the Constitution, then pass a new Amendment. The formal procedure is very well explained.

Not to go off on a tangent, but the Bill of Rights can not be changed. The Constitution can not be ammended in a way that negates Amendments 1-10. This was understood for hundreds of years.

Good point, but explain Prohibition.

We don't really need amendments anymore anyway, since FDR figured out we can just change the meaning of the words in the original to make it say whatever we want. /sarcasm
