Article Five of the United States Constitution describes the process whereby the Constitution, the nation's frame of government, may be altered. Altering the Constitution consists of proposing an amendment or amendments and subsequent ratification. Amendments may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a convention of states called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures.To become part of the Constitution, an amendment must be ratified by either—as determined by Congress—the legislatures of three-fourths of the states or State ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states.[2] The vote of each state (to either ratify or reject a proposed amendment) carries equal weight, regardless of a state’s population or length of time in the Union.

Additionally, Article V temporarily shielded certain clauses in Article I from being amended. The first clause in Section 9, which prevented Congress from passing any law that would restrict the importation of slaves prior to 1808, and the fourth clause in that same section, a declaration that direct taxes must be apportioned according to state populations, were explicitly shielded from Constitutional amendment prior to 1808. It also shields the first clause of Article I, Section 3, which provides for equal representation of the states in the United States Senate, from being amended, though not absolutely.

Contact [7]
These are some examples of famous inventions that really improved our quality of life. Hope you find them useful!

1. Light bulbs
This invention allows us to see and work in the dark. Long ago before lights are invented, we cannot do much during night time, even if you light up a candle, it won't last long and they may catch other things on fire. Light bulbs can be used for a long time, and they're a lot safer and there's a lot more we can do in our lives in nighttime nowadays. Even though yes LEDs are taking over, but before LED is invented, light bulbs are certainly important. 

2. Steam Trains
This improves the transportation. Before steam trains are invented, people usually travel either by walking or they ride animals such as horses. Steam trains can give us a fast way to go to another location.

3. Radio
Radio gives us a simple and fast way to send messages and spread information to far locations. This is very useful especially back then, where people can spread information during wars or other emergency situations. We can contact others faster.
