History

The Constitution can be changed through both formal and informal processes. A formal change is called an amendment, or addition. To amend the Constitution, it has to be voted on by both houses of Congress by a two-thirds majority. So, be it formally or informally, the U.S. Constitution is made to be changed.

Formally:

There are a couple ways that the U.S. Constitution could be formally amended. First Congress could adopt a proposed amendment (2/3 majority vote in both House of Representatives and Senate) and then send that proposed amendment to the state legislatures to be adopted - 3/4 majority required.

Informally:

States or the federal government can propose a new amendment to the Constitution either through state conventions or a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. To ratify an amendment to the Constitution, three-fourths of state legislatures or three-fourths of special state conventions must approve it.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!! :)

How did Great Britain increase its control over the colonies
Ronch [10]
Great Britain increased its control over the colonies by creating various of acts on the colonists.  As such they placed taxes (a.k.a Custom Duties and Tariffs: any tax on imported and exported goods) on certain things. An example of the most known act was the Tea Act. The Tea Act was to tax any tea items. Because the colonists were getting taxed so much before the Tea Act, the Boston Massacre occurred where the colonists disguised themselves, boarding the ship and dumping chests of tea into the water. Thus, Britain created the Coercive Act, preventing the actions of colonists and banning the Massachusetts's port until they paid for it, expanding their powers.

What limits does the magna carta place on the king's power to tax?
Kay [80]

The king himself cannot place a tax.

Under the Magna Carta the King could not impose taxes without the approval of the “common counsel” of the kingdom. As such, the document curtailed the power of the King and ensured that he was not above the law.
