I believe it is the process of changing something that has already been previously established. The founders concluded that if something has already been considered, voted on and passed by the body, then it should be a little harder to undo it; otherwise matters settled by narrow margins could conceivably shift along with small changes to the roll of legislators, or with some otherwise minor development seized upon by an overzealous minority.
An example is the process of amending the Constitution. Three fourths of the states must approve an amendment before it becomes law. No other legislative vote is needed, and no veto from any branch of government can stop it. But getting three fourths of the states to agree to something is not easy.
What else can I help you with?
What process requires a three-fourths majority vote in politics?

Can the constitution be changed by adding an admendment?
Yes, the U.S. Constitution can be changed by adding an amendment. This process requires either a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. Once proposed, the amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states. This ensures that amendments reflect a broad consensus across the nation.
How can the constitution be ratified and what is the process involved in doing so?
The Constitution can be ratified through a process that involves approval by a majority of states. Once a proposed amendment is passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution. This process ensures that the amendment has widespread support across the country.
Why does the formal amendment process reflect federalism?
The formal amendment process, to the Constitution, requires a supermajority vote in the Senate, and consent (agreement) by three fourths of the states. This process involves most of the U.S., and is, therefore, a federal process. No state, acting alone can change or amend the Constitution (and, therefore, 'states rights' do not apply here).
How can changes be made to the Constitution?
First of all, a two thirds majority of each house of Congress must propose the amendment. Then, a three fourths majority of the states must ratify the amendment.
Who was involved in proposing and ratifying amendments to the Constitution?
The process of proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution involves Congress, where a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate must approve the proposal. Alternatively, amendments can be proposed by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. Ratification requires approval from three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions in the states. This dual approach ensures both federal and state involvement in the amendment process.
Explain how the constitution could be changed?
The Constitution can be changed through the process of amendment. An amendment can be proposed either by two-thirds of both houses of Congress or by a national convention called by Congress when requested by two-thirds of the state legislatures. For an amendment to be ratified and become part of the Constitution, it requires approval by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions in three-fourths of the states. This process ensures that any changes to the Constitution are carefully considered and have broad support across the country.
How is a constitutional amendment ratified and what is the process involved?
A constitutional amendment is ratified through a process that involves two steps. First, the amendment must be proposed, typically by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Once proposed, the amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states. This process ensures that the amendment has widespread support before becoming part of the Constitution.
How can the 22nd amendment be changed?
The 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, which limits the President to two terms in office, can be changed through the formal amendment process outlined in Article V of the Constitution. This process requires either a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures to propose the amendment. The proposed amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states. This is a rigorous process designed to ensure that any changes to the Constitution reflect broad consensus among the states and the people.
The second step to amending the constitution Is that an amendment must be approved by?
Amendments to the Constitution may originate from either body of Congress or from a Convention called into creation by two thirds of the state legislatures. Amendments from the former must pass both bodies of Congress with a two thirds majority at which point the Amendment is considered proposed to the states and the ratification process begins. For proposed Amendments to become law three fourths of the states' Legislatures must approve ratification of the Amendment. Currently this requires 38 of the 50 states.The President plays no official role in the passage or rejection of Amendments to the Constitution. The President has no veto power in the process.
What is the constitutional amendment process?
The US Constitution is amended by first being proposed by at least a two-thirds majority vote in both the Senate and the House of Representative. The Constitution can also be amended by a constitutional convention called by state legislatures.
