Amendment

An amendment is a change made to a pending motion or bill by a motion to amend, or to a previously adopted law or motion. In Lovia, it is almost exclusively used as a synonym of a constitutional amendment, a change made to a written constitution. Article 7 of the Lovian Constitution defines an amendment as "a motion to amend the Constitution". It requires a special majority of more than two thirds, so at least 66.67% (before 2010: 75%).

In the course of recent history, six amendments have been made to the 2007 Constitution:
 * 1) First Amendment, fixing word choices and unclearities
 * 2) Second Amendment, stressing the unitarity of the national state
 * 3) Third Amendment, reforming citizenship registration and reviewing the executive power of the ruling monarch and Prime Minister
 * 4) Fourth Amendment, settling language matters
 * 5) Fifth Amendment, reforming federal election voting procedures
 * 6) Sixth Amendment or 2010 State Reform, reforming the states, including the abolishment of state courts, state police, and introducing Deputy Governors
