A new commendment

You meant "amendment"!

A new amendment is a proposed change to a constitution, law, or other governing document. Amendments can be added to a document to update its language, clarify its meaning, or make significant changes to its provisions.

In the United States, for example, the Constitution has been amended 27 times since its adoption in 1787. The process of proposing and ratifying an amendment is outlined in Article V of the Constitution, which requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or a convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures, to propose an amendment. The amendment then must be ratified by three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution.

Amendments can be significant, such as the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, or the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. They can also be more technical, such as the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

Do you have a specific amendment in mind, or would you like to know more about the process of proposing and ratifying an amendment?
