4. Why did the Founding Fathers make the constitution deliberately difficult to amend? The constitution was deliberately designed to stand the test of time and imposing a difficult formal amendment process that needed supermajorities in both houses of the federal legislature and the states.

For an amendment to even be proposed, it must receive a two-thirds vote of approval in both houses of Congress, or a request from two-thirds of state legislatures to call a national convention, and that’s just the first step.

The Framers, the men who wrote the Constitution, wanted the amendment process to be difficult. They believed that a long and complicated amendment process would help create stability in the United States. Because it is so difficult to amend the Constitution, amendments are usually permanent.

Why did framers make it possible to change the constitution but difficult to do so? Wanted to change the constitution because new ideas and thoughts would come up, but they didn’t want the constitution to be changing all the time so they made it more difficult.

The framers felt the need to include checks and balances in the Constitution so each branch couldn’t dominate the other. This system prevented each branch from having too much power. They put checks and balances because if one branch makes a mistake, another branch can balance it out.
