What must be added to change the constitution?
The US Constitution is changed by adding amendments, as explained in article V of the Constitution.
What are the amendments and how can they be added?
Amendments are considered apart of the theconstitution with the same enforcement value. I believe the constitution says amendments have the same "intents and purposes" as the rest of the constitution.Amendments can be passed in two ways: 1) Congress can propose an amendment to the states by a 2/3 majority vote in each house. Then if 3/4 of the states ratify it..it becomes an amendment.2) 2/3 of the states call a convention to propose amendments. If 3/4 of all the states ratify those proposals; they become amendments.
What is the formal role of the judicial branch in amending the Constitution?

Which article describes the amendment process?
Article V. Either Congress or the states (in constitutional convention) PROPOSE amendments, but only the states ratify. Once the states ratify, the Constitution IS changed - Congress has no role following ratification. The states never need Congress's permission to amend.
