unamendable
Fixed beyond alteration
Unamendable describes something that cannot be changed, corrected, or revised.
The term appears most often in legal and constitutional contexts, where certain provisions may be declared unamendable to protect them from future modification: The constitution's human rights clauses are unamendable.
Outside formal contexts, the word suggests something fixed beyond correction or improvement.
