A quick definition of amendment:

An amendment is a change made to a law, document, or proposal. It can be a correction, addition, or deletion of words. There are different types of amendments, such as those made by a court, a judge, or a parliamentary motion. A friendly amendment is one that the person who made the original proposal agrees with. Amendments can be made by adding new words, inserting them within existing text, or striking out words. They can also be retroactive, meaning they apply to something that happened in the past.

A more thorough explanation:

An amendment is a formal change or addition made to a law, constitution, or other legal document. It can be a correction, deletion, or alteration in wording. The process of making such a change is also called an amendment.

  • When the Constitution was first written, it did not include a Bill of Rights. The first ten amendments to the Constitution were added later to protect individual rights.
  • A party in a legal case may request an amendment to their pleading, which is a formal written statement of their claims and defenses.
  • In parliamentary law, an amendment is a motion that changes the wording of another motion. For example, a member of a legislative body may propose an amendment to a bill to modify its provisions.

These examples illustrate how an amendment can be used to modify or improve a legal document or proposal. It allows for changes to be made to better reflect the needs and values of society.
