Why does the formal amendment process reflect federalism?
The formal amendment process, to the Constitution, requires a supermajority vote in the Senate, and consent (agreement) by three fourths of the states. This process involves most of the U.S., and is, therefore, a federal process. No state, acting alone can change or amend the Constitution (and, therefore, 'states rights' do not apply here).
Can the constitution change?
Yes. Changes to the constitution are called amendments. To propose an amendment requires 2/3 of Congress' approval or 2/3 of the state legislatures can vote to call a national convention to propose the amendment. To become part of the constitution, to be ratified, an amendment must get approval from 3/4 of Congress or 3/4 of the the states must vote for it in a ratifying convention.
