To me the first step to fix this is understanding why anyone would want to amend it? It seems like it was set up to be pretty bare bones, to resolve international and interstate disputes. Today it looks like the federal government spends more in each state than the states do on themselves. This means that people in Texas (as a whole) have more say over spending in New York than people in New York do. This makes it impossible for new states to enter the union, and you end up with spending policy in every state close to the median national voter, which makes everyone unhappy. I think you should revoke incoropration and let each states constitution reign supreme as was originally intended. California wants legal marijuana but the (badly interpreted) commerce clause makes this technically illegal. NYC wants appropriate gun laws set by its residents, but due to 2A, it can't. Revoke 14A and the temperature of the federal government will cool down.
