This Article deals with the Constitution's amendment process. The Founders put this mechanism in the Constitution because they thought that perhaps problems may arise with it in the future or circumstances and values in society may change broadly enough to warrant it. However, actually amending the Constitution is very difficult. In order to propose an amendment, you need either 2/3 of Congress to say yes to it or 2/3 of the state legislatures to say yes in a Constitutional Convention. In order for the amendment to go into effect, 2/3 of the state legislatures must ratify it.

Wanted to figure out a way where they gave someone power however not too much power to where it would be like a monarchy. (Originally thought they would give power to an executive branch rather than one person like a president)

As more thoughts were being thrown around they have gotten the ideas of having an president

Another question was how much power would the president get.

Also wanted the president to know that the power is still to the people.

Article 5 describes the process of amendments within the constitution. It describes that changes are possible, however, it is relatively difficult to have them be put into effect. It only occurs during certain circumstances when mass support is given. The last time there was an amendment, it was the one to give 18-year-olds the right to vote.
