Congress passes laws instead of amending the Constitution because the legislative process is generally quicker and more flexible. Amending the Constitution requires a rigorous and lengthy process, needing a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. In contrast, laws can be enacted with a simple majority, allowing Congress to respond more swiftly to changing social needs and issues. This enables lawmakers to address specific problems without the complexities involved in constitutional amendments.
