What are the amendments and how can they be added?
Amendments are considered apart of the theconstitution with the same enforcement value. I believe the constitution says amendments have the same "intents and purposes" as the rest of the constitution.Amendments can be passed in two ways: 1) Congress can propose an amendment to the states by a 2/3 majority vote in each house. Then if 3/4 of the states ratify it..it becomes an amendment.2) 2/3 of the states call a convention to propose amendments. If 3/4 of all the states ratify those proposals; they become amendments.
What is designed to change the constitution?
Amendments are designed to change the Constitution. To propose an amendment, 2/3 of Congress must approve it, and to ratify the amendments, 2/3 of state legislatures or conventions must approve them. After this, the Constitution is changed. Examples of amendments include the setting of the voting age at 18, and the limiting of presidents to two terms. The first ten amendments are the Bill of Rights.
