A statement in the Declaration of Independence confirms that with these statements:
We hold these truths (Natural and Individual Rights) to be self-evident, that all men created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Answer: According to the fifth article of the constitution.
Explanation:
According to the article mentioned above of the constitution, there are two ways to change the amendments, which also include proposing them and adopting them. To achieve this, two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote in favor of or restricting the change. Furthermore, two-thirds of state parliaments may ask Congress to convene a national convention that will propose amendments.
The reason actually had little to do with Somaliland (which is a relatively peaceful and stable country) but with the fear of other countries that this will cause more chaos in the neighbouring Somalia and maybe encourage other places in Africa to split and this would cause more wars and conflicts. <span />
