Answer: ***Amending Process***
The Framers of the U.S. Constitution allowed for changes in the Constitution by providing flexibility with the **AMENDING PROCESS**¹. They detailed an amendment process in Article V that gave citizens avenues to change the Constitution¹. This process has been used to add 27 amendments to the Constitution since 1789¹. The first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were designed to protect individual rights and liberties¹. The amendment process is intentionally difficult to ensure careful consideration of any changes¹. There are two avenues for amending the Constitution: the congressional proposal method and the convention method¹. In both cases, amendments must be ratified by three-fourths of the states¹. This process allows the Constitution to adapt and evolve over time in response to new challenges and circumstances.
