Constitutional amendments allow for changes or additions to the legal framework that governs political rights within a country. These amendments can expand civil liberties, address injustices, or respond to evolving societal norms. The process varies by nation, often requiring substantial legislative support or public referenda. Amendments may safeguard rights like freedom of speech or expand voting rights to marginalized groups. By formalizing these changes, amendments ensure that political rights remain relevant and reflective of contemporary values, allowing the constitution to adapt and grow alongside the population it serves.
