Why Is Constitution Amendment So Difficult?

Question 1

State three reasons to why the Constitution is so hard to amend?

Answer 1

. The founding fathers created a deliberately difficult Amendment process due to the need for both the states and congress to agree and the need for super majorities.
. The founding fathers created a document that was in most parts unspecific in order to allow the document to evolve without the need for formal amendment.
. Americans in general are generally cautious of Constitutional Amendments due to events of the past e.g. the Amendment that introduced Prohibition and the problems it caused.
