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).

informal aplus :)) Formal :D ^^^ wrong answer.
Our founding fathers knew that our country would change in time, and we needed a governing document that could change along with the needs of it's citizens. So we have the formal amendment process in order to adapt to the changes and needs of our citizens.
The Framers wanted the people to be absolutely sure before they changed the Constitution.
An example of an informal amendment to the U.S. Constitution would be a change in societal norms or judicial interpretation that affects how the Constitution is applied, such as landmark Supreme Court decisions. In contrast, a formal amendment, like the addition of the Bill of Rights or any other change to the text of the Constitution, is not considered informal. Therefore, a formal amendment process, outlined in Article V of the Constitution, is not an example of an informal amendment.
A proposed amendment is at the federal level and ratifications is at state level.

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.
