amending the constitution

                            amending the constitution takes a lot of work. Congress only does it if there is a 2/3 vote from everyone on both sides of the senate and the house of representatives. Congress only pass's amendments on the basis that it is beneficial to the united states of america. However amendments cannot be removed or abolished. there must be either another amendment that cancels out the one before it. Other than passing it through congress, there is another informal way. The amendment can be passed if most of america is Angrily trying to a certain law passed but congress keeps denying it, they can take it to court in Washington D.C and it will most likely pass from there.
