Equal Protections under the Constitution

Question 5 • SA FL-2106010-M/J Civics S1 26-27

Why did delegates to the Constitutional Convention make amending the Constitution difficult?

Answer
A
They believed that all three branches of government needed to be in agreement.
B
They wanted all members of Congress and all of the states to be in agreement.
C
Delegates wanted to limit the government’s power.
D
Delegates wanted to make sure that the Constitution was never changed.

Explanation

The delegates made amendments difficult so that changes would require broad support and the Constitution would remain stable. This helped prevent the federal government—or a temporary majority—from changing the fundamental rules too easily. They did not require all members of Congress and every state to agree, and they did not intend to make the Constitution impossible to change.
