The process to amend the Constitution requires 3/4 of the states to agree on the amendment. It is not a majority vote situation, for the very good reason that the Constitution protects the basic freedoms of US citizens, including free speech (and yes, that means hate or unpopular speech as well) and right to bear arms.
The founders anticipated future generations that would attempt to take away rights, and thus made it extremely difficult for any such process to be done.
