The Constitution can be informally amended through basic legislation by Congress passing laws that interpret its provisions in new ways, thereby shaping the application of constitutional principles. For example, laws that establish specific rights or procedures can expand or clarify constitutional guarantees without formally altering the text. This process allows for flexibility and adaptation to changing societal needs while maintaining the Constitution's foundational framework. Such legislative actions, along with judicial interpretations, contribute to the evolving understanding of constitutional rights and responsibilities.

Basic legislation refers to fundamental laws or statutes that establish the foundational legal framework of a government or legal system. These laws typically outline the structure of government, define the rights and responsibilities of citizens, and set the principles for legal governance. In some contexts, such as constitutional law, basic legislation may refer specifically to a constitution or similar foundational document that guides the interpretation and implementation of laws.

Yes, fundamental rights in many democracies can be amended, but the process is often subject to specific constitutional provisions. In India, for example, while the Constitution allows for amendments to fundamental rights, the Supreme Court has ruled that certain basic features of the Constitution, including fundamental rights, cannot be altered.

However, the amendment process typically requires a higher threshold of political consensus.
