Several answers here are good reasons why it is difficult to change the US Constitution. People are childish when it comes to the Constitution.
If I could change a local law, it would be NO LOCAL TAXES. Thank you.

In my opinion if we eliminated about 40% of the ones we have and enforce the rest we might get somewhere. As long as the emphasis is placed on new laws and no enforcement we will go no where.
Every time I see a new law designed to prevent someone from doing something that is already a crime I just sit down and cry. And I cry a lot. Our legislators are dumber than a sack of hammers and the malady crosses all political lines. I suppose that doesn't speak well of the people who elected them either.

"No, there honestly is a separation of chirch and state, we promise."
That should be in there.
Honestly though? I think there should be a law that discourages pregnant women from drinking alcohol. It would be better for the babies. I just don't know if it would be fair to the mothers.
I also think that laws on sex should be better defined. A lot of states still have it on the books that sodomy is ilegal, but this would mean that doesn't lead to conception would be illegal. It needs to be updated. Especially now that we use condoms.

I want to make a new constitutional amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe the 14th amendment should be repealed and replaced. The most crucial sentence in the 14th is:
"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Constitutional law ought to constitute a set of rules so that government (the level of government being commanded) can know what it can or cannot do. Constitutional law ought to "provide guidance and discipline for the legislature, which is entitled to know what kind of laws it may pass," and it ought to "mark the limit of [the Court's] authority." (From Romer v. Evans, 1996; morally correct rhetoric but completely hypocritical in reality.)
Declare that the 14th is repealed (we obviously don't need the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sections of it any more) and is replaced with more clearly stated rules for the states to obey.
In place of the Privileges and Immunities Clause, say that states must obey all provisions of the Bill of Rights except for the 2nd, 7th, and 9th amendments, and the Grand Jury Clause of the 5th.
Clarify that the Due Process Clause means exactly what it literally says and that, as Alexander Hamilton once said, it can never be applied to an act of the legislature (or voters). The Clause guarantees fair, standard PROCEDURES, not laws which judges deem acceptable.
Clarify that the Equal Protection Clause means only one thing: RACIAL equality. Not gender, not sexual orientation, not aliens, not equality for persons born out of wedlock, etc., etc.
The Supreme Court has been at its worst when: 1) it steals Presidential elections, 2) it enforces "unenumerated rights," and 3) picks out "minorities" other than racial minorites for "heightened protection."
"The current state of equal protection and fundamental rights is a travesty. The Court has drifted between different [clauses of the 14th] in deriving these rights as if they were so many coat hooks for the Court to use which-ever one is convenient. The various standards set out by the Court for deriving these rights are so vague as to be virtually useless. ... [T]he Fourteenth Amendment remains a hodgepodge of underdeveloped ideas." -- Evan Gerstmann, "Same-Sex Marriage and the Constitution," (2003) Cambridge University Press, pp 209-210.

Laws made by parliament, judges interpret the law + can create case law or declare common law But in the UK parliament is fully sovereign - all powers derive from it and its the key legislative body

there should be 2 additional amendments to the constitution:
28 in order to take any elected office in the senate, house of representatives, president, or vice president, the person must have completed not less than four years active duty military service and have been discharged from service under honorable condtions at the time of discharge. No person may serve as a member of congress, as a president or vice president, or a supreme court justice if that person has ever been convicted of a felony crime or a crime of domestic violence.
29 no law, federal, state, or local, shall infringe on the rights of the people which are protected by the constitution.

How about that even after a president is sworn in, they can still be taken out of office if it is found that they did not win the majority of the vote, and that the election was fixed. The other canidate would then become president and the latter would be removed from ever being known as the president.

I think there should be fines for anybody whose automatic sprinklers come in while it's raining. Yes, I know they are automatic, but there must be manual overrides, and all you have to do is listen to the weather report, and flip it off. If it doesn't rain, flip them on in the morning. Ten hours of not being doused isn't going to hurt the lawn and could save untold environmental dollars
