Constitutional amendment. A constitutional amendment refers to the modification of the constitution of a nation or state. In many jurisdictions the text of the constitution itself is altered; in others the text is not changed, but the amendments change its effect. The method of modification is typically written into the constitution itself.
The United States Constitutionâs 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th Amendments provide the constitutional basis for the most extensive protections of rights that protect citizens from governmental power.
