The entire Constitution? That's pretty ambitious.
This'll start you off... There used to be a Saturday-morning kid's feature on ABC called "Schoolhouse Rock." (Oh, Gawd, I'm so dating myself!) In one episode, they set the preamble to the U.S. to music! I learned it without even trying.
If the link doesn't work, search YouTube for Schoolhouse Rock.

Memorize it, starting with the Preamble. I would then work on the body. You have 26 ammendments--divide them up. Remembering them might be easier if you can find one word and assign a letter of the alphabet to it. Try to keep them in order, though. For example: P--Prohibition.If you memorize what you have to know in groups, it will come easier.

I am sorry that I cannot offer any good advice on memorization, but I want to give you props for doing so with the Constitution, regardless of the underlying reason. I wish we all would memorize the Constitution. One day it might not be there to memorize.

Take it in little parts. Take each part, preamble and each amendment one at a time. Saying them at loud makes it easier to memorize too. If you have a tape recorder say it into there and listen to it at night as you go to bed.

Do it sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph. It's a lot easier that way.
