Amendment

Look up amendment in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

An amendment is a formal or official change made to a law, contract, constitution, or other legal document. It is based on the verb to amend, which means to change for better. Amendments can add, remove, or update parts of these agreements. They are often used when it is better to change the document than to write a new one.^[1] Only the legislative branch is involved in the amendment process.^[2]
