How are changes made to the U.S. Constitution?

Accepted answers:

  • Amendments
  • The amendment process

Why this is the correct answer

The Constitution can be changed through a formal amendment process, ensuring changes reflect broad public support. An amendment must be proposed by Congress or a constitutional convention and then ratified by three-fourths of the states. This makes the Constitution stable but not impossible to update.
