马来西亚联邦宪法第一百五十九条

i am stuck in this assignment from the subject M'sian Constitutional Framework and Policies.

write an academic report. give your critical analysis on the above statement :

" if it is correct that amendments made to the Constitution are valid only if consistent with its existing provisions, then clearly no change whatsoever may be made to the Constitution ; in other words, Article 159 is superfluous, for the Constitution cannot be changed or altered in any way, as if it has been carved in granite. if our Constitution makers had intended that their successors should not in any way alter their handiwork, it would have been perfectly easy for them to so provide; but nowhere in the Constitution does it appear that that was their intention... On the contrary apart from Article 159, there are many provisions showing that they realized that the Constitution should be a living document intended to be workable between the partners the constitute the Malayan (later Malaysian) polity, a living document that is reviewable from time to time in the light of experience and, if need be, amended." 

basically, it is all about the Article 159.

not sure where to start this assignment.
it's so irritating.
