Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

I can be changed but it's a difficult process. The Fifth Amendment provides two ways the Constitution can be changed. One of them has never been used.

First: A bill can be passed by a two-thirds majority of the Senate and the House, after which it is set to the states.

Second: A Constitutional Convention can be called by two-thirds of the states’ legislatures. There, one or more amendments to the Constitution can be proposed. Those amendments are then sent to the states, and three-fourths must approve before the change is made. This process has never been attempted.
