amendment process

The process of changing or adding to the US Constitution. The original writers of the Constitution decided to make this task difficult by stating that 2/3 of Congress had to approve it; and after that, 3/4 of the states had to approve it. This process is irksome and time-consuming.

The amendment process caused the law 3 years time before it finally passed.
