The formal amendment process emphasizes the federal character of the governmental system. Proposal takes place at the national level, and ratification is a state-by-state matter. Also, when the constitution is amended, that action represents the expression of the people's sovereign will.

In amendment 2 What event in history caused this amendment to be added?

Although there are various reasons why the constitutional framers included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights, the main reason why this amendment was created was to insure that the citizens of the United States could protect themselves. At the time this amendment was created, (1791) a formal police force that could protect the civilians did not exist. Therefore the framers of the constitution recognized the need for self-protection and thus, the second amendment was created. There wasn't really a precise moment in history that led to this amendments creation, although one could say the revolutionary war mainly contributed to its adoption.


In addition to formal methods of proposing and ratifying amendments changes to the Constitution can also be made how?

According to Article V of the US Constitution.. To propose an Amendment to the Constitution one of the following must occur: 1) 2/3 of the Houses or 2/3 of the senate also 2) delegates at a national convention is called by congress at the request of around 2/3 of the state legislative However this has never been done. After the Amendment is Proposed by Congress, it must be ratified by 3/4 of the State Legislatures or the citizens elect delegates to conventions called in each state specifically to consider the amendment which requires 3/4 of the state to approve the amendment. The two ways that an amendment can be proposed is; *The Congress propose an amendment by 2/3 vote in both houses. And second *The state 2/3 of the states 34 out of 50 can ask Congress to call national convention to propose an amendment.

Why does the formal amendment process reflect federalism?

The formal amendment process, to the Constitution, requires a supermajority vote in the Senate, and consent (agreement) by three fourths of the states. This process involves most of the U.S., and is, therefore, a federal process. No state, acting alone can change or amend the Constitution (and, therefore, 'states rights' do not apply here).
