An amendment to the Constitution refers to adding a text to the Constitution that either changes the Constitution or modifies it.
An Amendment is done to the Constitution in order to:
- Add something that was not there before.
- Change something that no longer works in the best interest of the nation.
It is important that the Constitution can be amended because the Founding Fathers were not able (and rightly so) to think of everything that the U.S. would need when it was created so amendments allow the Constitution to include those things the Founding Fathers did not think of.
In conclusion, an Amendment changes the Constitution.
