The formal amendment process emphasizes the federal character of the governmental system. Proposal takes place at the national level, and ratification is a state-by-state matter. Also, when the constitution is amended, that action represents the expression of the people's sovereign will.

In amendment 2 What event in history caused this amendment to be added?
Although there are various reasons why the constitutional framers included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights, the main reason why this amendment was created was to insure that the citizens of the United States could protect themselves. At the time this amendment was created, (1791) a formal police force that could protect the civilians did not exist. Therefore the framers of the constitution recognized the need for self-protection and thus, the second amendment was created. There wasn't really a precise moment in history that led to this amendments creation, although one could say the revolutionary war mainly contributed to its adoption.

Does the US Constitution list a method for amending it?
There are two ways to change the Constitution of the United States, formally and informally. There are several ways to informally change the Constitution. One example is Article I, Section 8, Clause 18. It is known as the “elastic clause” because it “stretches” the power of Congress. This gives Congress the power to pass laws considered “necessary and proper” for carrying out the other powers of Congress. The development of political parties, political custom, and tradition are also informal ways to change the Constitution. For example, the Constitution says nothing about the President’s Cabinet to help him/her make decisions. This was begun by Washington and developed over the years by presidents who felt they needed special advisors for various subjects. The Amendment process is the formal way to change the Constitution. An amendment may be proposed by two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a convention called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures. Ratification of an amendment takes three-fourths of the states to approve.

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).
