Amendment

An amendment is a formal change or addition made to a legal document, such as a constitution or law. In many countries, amendments allow for the adaptation of laws to reflect societal changes, address issues, or improve governance. For example, in the United States, the Constitution has been amended several times to expand rights, such as granting women the right to vote. The process typically requires careful consideration and approval through specific procedures, often involving legislative bodies or popular votes, ensuring that changes are made thoughtfully and with public support.
