For the United States, it is not.
Article five of the United States Constitution.
"<span>The Congress, whenever </span>two thirds<span> of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose </span>Amendments<span> to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of </span>two thirds<span> of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of</span>three fourths<span> of the several States, or by Conventions in </span>three fourths<span> thereof, as the </span>one<span> or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year </span>One thousand eight hundred and eight<span> shall in any Manner affect the </span>first<span> and </span>fourth<span> Clauses in the </span>Ninth<span> Section of the </span>first<span> Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal </span>Suffrage<span> in the Senate."
This process has happened 26 times and once unconstitutionally (the 16th amendment) for a total of 27 amendments.
To pass a law, there must be a 51% vote in both houses of Congress, and an approval by the president. Or Congress may override the veto by a two-thirds vote. This has been done well over 40,000 times in 2011 alone.

Answer:
When there are smaller units, the country can send those out instead of the larger ones.
Explanation:
This can both save on military resources for less-critical fights in wars as well as forcing the enemy to let down their guard.
There are three main structural branches of the United States government. The executive branch, consisting of the president and his agencies and office, the legislative branch, which is the congress, and the Judicial branch which consists of all the courts and the supreme court at the top. They balance each other's powers out and build the US government.
Historically, there were three highly important documents when it came to the government. Articles of confederation, which established something like the first form of government that existed, then the US constitution, which is still used today and established how the government will actually work, and the Bill of rights, which was a set of amendments that established personal rights and freedoms.
The guiding principles of the US government are establishing democratic rule and peaceful transitions of government officials, while enabling free market economy and protecting people's rights which are mentioned in the declaration of independence as the unalienable ones, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
America's fear of communism from 1947-1953 was due to the increased political power of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had a communist system in which Stalin abused his power and took away civil liberties from his citizens. After World War II, his power continued to increase as the Soviet Union was allied/had control over several different countries in Europe including Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and Czechoslovakia. America was worried that this communist influence would continue to spread all over the world.
The fear of communism was not only present overseas, but also in America. During World War II there were Soviet spies in the US that gave information to the Soviet government. This, along with a small communist party in America, allowed for the development of McCarthyism. McCarthyism was essentially a witch hunt for any suspected communists. Anyone perceived as a communist threat could be called in front of Congress in the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
