Changes to the U.S. Constitution are made through amendments. An amendment is a change or addition to the Constitution. Amendments help update the Constitution when the country’s needs change. For example, some amendments protect new rights or improve how the government works.
The amendment process has two main steps: proposal and ratification. First, an amendment must be proposed by Congress or by the states. In most cases, two-thirds of both the House and the Senate must agree to propose it.
Next, the amendment must be approved by the states. Three-fourths of the states must vote yes for the amendment to become part of the Constitution. This careful process makes sure that only important and widely supported changes are added to the Constitution.
