Which article of the Constitution provides for changing the Constitution through amendments?

The provision for amending the Constitution is found in Article V. This article outlines the process by which amendments can be proposed and ratified, ensuring that the Constitution can evolve and adapt to changing societal needs and values.

Specifically, Article V states that amendments may be proposed either by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. Additionally, it establishes that amendments must be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states. This rigorous process was designed to create stability and ensure that changes to the foundational legal document of the nation are carefully considered and widely supported.

In contrast, the other articles of the Constitution do not address the amending process. Article IV deals with the states' powers and limits, Article VI establishes the supremacy of federal law, and Article VII provides the procedure for ratifying the Constitution itself. Thus, Article V uniquely serves the purpose of allowing the Constitution to be amended as necessary.
