Article 79 (Amendment Procedures)

Article 79 outlines the procedures for amending the Constitution of the European Union (EU). It specifies that amendments can be proposed by member states, the European Parliament, or the European Commission. The process requires approval from all member states, typically involving a convention followed by ratification. This ensures that changes reflect the consensus among EU nations. The aim is to provide a structured and democratic way to adapt the Constitution as the EU evolves, while maintaining stability and coherence across its member states.
