Question

What is the benefit of having legislation ratified in the form of an amendment? An amendment is part of the US Constitution, and superior over other acts. An amendment is quicker to pass than an act. An amendment can be changed if society shifts in the future. An amendment automatically triggers lawsuits if it is ignored.

Answer 2

An amendment is part of the US Constitution, and superior over other acts
The process for amending the Constitution, although long and complicated, overall does a good job of protecting the US from political whims and popular sentiments. This ensures the stability of the protections offered by the constitution.
