Some refer to an amendment that results in a change or addition that becomes part of the written language of the Constitution itself as a "formal amendment," but there is no such term. Amendments that have been proposed by both Houses of Congress jointly, and have gone through the formal process of ratification by two-thirds of the states become amendments to the Constitution.

There are two basic methods to propose an amendment, and four ways to go about actually making the amendment a reality. One way is a proposal by congress, which is followed by ratification by state conventions. This method has only been used once.
