Formal amendments are changes to the Constitution that follow a specific process outlined in Article V, requiring approval by a two-thirds majority in Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. In contrast, informal amendments occur through judicial interpretation, societal changes, or legislative actions that alter the application of the Constitution without altering its text. These practices are crucial because they allow the Constitution to adapt to evolving societal values and circumstances, ensuring its relevance over time. This flexibility has contributed to the document's longevity and enduring authority in American governance.
