constitutional changes
Fundamental law modifications
Constitutional changes are modifications to a nation's constitution—the foundational document establishing governmental structure and rights.
These may involve formal amendments through prescribed legal processes, or broader revisions through constitutional conventions or referenda.
The proposed constitutional changes would limit presidential terms.
Such changes typically require supermajorities or special procedures, reflecting their gravity.
