I believe it is the process of changing something that has already been previously established. The founders concluded that if something has already been considered, voted on and passed by the body, then it should be a little harder to undo it; otherwise matters settled by narrow margins could conceivably shift along with small changes to the roll of legislators, or with some otherwise minor development seized upon by an overzealous minority. An example is the process of amending the Constitution. Three fourths of the states must approve an amendment before it becomes law. No other legislative vote is needed, and no veto from any branch of government can stop it. But getting three fourths of the states to agree to something is not easy.
