What is an amendment?
AA ruling by the Supreme Court
BA veto used by the President
CA tax passed by Congress
DA change to the Constitution
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A change to the Constitution
1. An amendment is a change to the Constitution, and it can also be an addition to it.
2. Amendments let the country update its highest law without writing a new one.
3. A Supreme Court ruling decides one case and does not rewrite the Constitution, so it is not an amendment.
