Let me guess, Peterson's government summer assignment? Ha, I haven't figured it out either.
The Bill of Rights was created using a formal amendment process. An informal amendment process doesn't result in actual changes to the Constitution, only to the way the Constitution is interpreted.
The Bill of Rights was formally adopted into the US constitution.

informal amendment process
There are 27 amendments. All the amendments are neither formal or informal. If an amendment has not gone through the process laid out in the constitution it is not an amendment.
Neither. The Necessary and Proper Clause is part of the original Articles of the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18), so it's not an amendment, but is a formal part of the US Constitution. When use of the Necessary and Proper clause is expanded beyond the justifiable reach of Congress, that would be considered an informal amendment process.
The Supreme Court's use of judicial review results in changing applications of the Constitution that is sometimes referred to as the "informal amendment process." The term is misleading, however, because the only real way to change the Constitution is the formal procedure involving Congress and the States, as described in Article V. "Informal amendment" isn't amendment at all, it just represents changes to our understanding of the Constitution as expressed through case law in the American common law system.

Informal Amendment ProcessThe term "Informal Amendment Process" refers to changes in the interpretation or application of the Constitution by expanding constitutional rights (such as voting) to include groups that were previously excluded. These changes often occur as the result of judicial decisions, usually by the US Supreme Court or by Congressional legislation not struck down as unconstitutional. It is important to note that the "Informal Amendment Process" doesn't actually change the Constitution, just its interpretation, which is in a constant state of flux due to evolving (or devolving) sociopolitical conditions.
