Becuase at the time the bell was rang so often that it cracked. then they tried to fix it and did so. then they rang it so much again that it cracked all the way up and the liberty bell cannot ring again.
Because when it was first hit it cracked.
The Original Liberty Bell was cracked the first time it was rung. They tried to fix it but the material was still too brittle and it cracked again. No one knows when it cracked but it started out a very small one and got worse.
The Liberty Bell has cracked several times, and each time it happened because the bell was rung. Each time it broke, it was repaired, but the last time it broke -- in 1846, when it was rung for George Washington's birthday -- it cracked really badly and could not be repaired. It is now on display in Philadelphia. As Agent Scully said on the X-files, "It's a big bell, with a big crack, and you have to wait in a long line." That was pretty much my experience, too. See the Related Link below for more details.
The Liberty Bell has actually had a number of cracks over the years, many of which were repaired. The bell became "unringable" on Washington's Birthday, February 26, 1846. According to this quote from the Philadelphia Public Ledger:
"The old Independence Bell rang its last clear note on Monday last in honor of the birthday of Washington and now hangs in the great city steeple irreparably cracked and dumb. It had been cracked before but was set in order of that day by having the edges of the fracture filed so as not to vibrate against each other ... It gave out clear notes and loud, and appeared to be in excellent condition until noon, when it received a sort of compound fracture in a zig-zag direction through one of its sides which put it completely out of tune and left it a mere wreck of what it was."
There is widespread disagreement about when the first crack appeared on the Bell. Hair-line cracks on bells were bored out to prevent expansion. However, it is agreed that the final expansion of the crack which rendered the Bell unringable was on Washington's Birthday in 1846.
According to Tim and Moby, the Articles of Confederation, Tim and Moby go back in time to the Second Continental Congress times. In the end of the episode Tim shouts that the liberty bell is near them so Moby rings it, causing a large crack. Then Tim and Moby run away back to the future. That is how the bell cracked.
It cracked once by ringing it hard then on George Washington's birthday.

Technically there is only one large crack which is held together by the slot of metal able to be seen in any photo of the bell. But, it was broken into that large crevice two different times. Only on George Washington's birthday (the date the second part of the crack ocurred) did they move it from its original place in Independence Hall.
it's 3 feet high, the lip has a circumference of 12 feet, and the size of the crack is 24.5 inches long by 1/2 inches wide
Yes, When the bell cracked, remedial work was done on it. 1.The bell was rotated, so the crack was away from the hammer. 2.The hammer weight was reduced. 3.The bell had squares cut into it, either side of the crack, to stop the crack increasing. In this form the bell still rings today.
The Liberty Bell, which can be seen in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, is one of the most visited and valued part of American Revolutionay War history. One and a half million people visit the Bell annually. It consistently strikes an E-flat note, possibly due to the 1/2 inch wide by 24.5 inch long crack in the bell. It is primarily made of copper but has 9 other metals and alloys in its composition. At 2080 pounds, the bell cracked the first time it was rung
It is 6 feet tall according to providenceform.org/libertybell.

The phrase "The Liberty Bell" appeared in The Anti-Slavery Record, Vol.1, No. 2, published by R.G. Williams, for the American Anti-Slavery Society, in February 1835.(Source: Factual Flier #178, by Robert L. Giannini, III, Associate Curator, CRM, Independence NHP, February 25, 1997.)

R Williams is really Dennis R. Willaims. He was the maker of the Liberty Bell in 1751-1752. He spent 2 years making the bell. Hope this helped!:)
