What things need to be added and changed on the U. S. constitution for being overtaken?

BALANCE THE BUDGET
I would like to see an amendment requiring a balanced “primary” budget, which means that the cost of servicing the national debt would be excluded.

It should contain a provision that Congress must reduce spending proportionately across areas of the federal budget and that tax increases must maintain the present progressivity of the tax code, phased in within ten years of the amendment’s passage.

Without a constitutional mandate, politicians and other citizens simply will not have the will to make the changes necessary to address our looming fiscal crisis.
