Which term means a change in, or addition to, a constitution or law?

• A. Rehabilitation
• B. Reintegration
• C. Amendment
• D. Justice

Answer: (C)

A change in or addition to a constitution or law is called an amendment. An amendment is a formal modification that updates or expands a legal document to reflect new needs, values, or circumstances. Constitutions often have a defined process for amendments—like debates, votes, or referendums—to ensure changes are carefully considered and legitimate. This is why amendment is the best term for describing how a constitution or law can be altered or added to. The other terms point to different ideas: rehabilitation means helping someone recover and return to society, reintegration refers to bringing someone back into a community, and justice centers on fairness in law and judgment. They do not describe changing the actual text of a constitution or law.
