Question

The Benefit of the Process

Answer 1

Answer: It ensures that checks and balances are respected.

Explanation:

The Constitution of the United States can be amended but the process is such a long and cumbersome process that not a lot of amendments have been passed since it was ratified.

This process was deliberately made difficult to ensure that the Amendment had the support of as many Americans as possible both at the Federal and at the State level. This ensures that checks and balances are respected because it means that neither the state governments nor the federal government can act unilaterally to change the Constitution.
