Informal Amendment Process

The 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.
