How is the constitution changed?
It can always change because people think we need to have new laws. The constitution should never change!
Why are informal methods used to change constitution more than formal methods?
Informal methods do not really change the Constitution per se, they just change the way it is viewed. An informal method refers to a change in makeup in the Supreme Court, which can alter how laws are interpreted. The only real way to change the Constitution is formally.
What must be added to change the constitution?
The US Constitution is changed by adding amendments, as explained in article V of the Constitution.
Is incorporation a change or addition to the Constitution?
No. In reference to the Constitution, "incorporation" means applying portions of the Bill of Rights to the States, to prevent the states from infringing on people's constitutional rights. A change or addition to the Constitution is called an amendment.
One way the Founders provided for change in the Constitution was to describe how?
Ratify the Constitution. With the ever changing tides of contemporary political and social balances, only modifications in our own base governmental rules can keep this fluctuation smooth.
