Amendments allow you to add language that invalidates prior language. The old language isn’t “deleted” but it is superseded so it is no longer relevant. For display purposes, the invalidated text is often shown with a strikethrough.

You can’t “delete” language because the original is a physical document, but this works the same in practice.

A rewrite is possible but it requires a constitutional convention (similar process to an amendment) or a revolution. IMHO a rewrite is a bad idea because corporate, and military, and intelligence influences are too strong right now compared to the people. They would dominate the process.

We certainly have our problems, but so does everybody. Nearly all democracies are falling to corruption, institutional capture, and domestic repression. We’re not alone in this.
