The amendment procedure is a complex process that requires the approval of both the Parliament and the State Legislatures. The amendment procedure is as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A bill for the amendment of the Constitution is introduced in either House of Parliament.<\/li>\n<li>The bill is then referred to a Joint Committee of both Houses of Parliament.<\/li>\n<li>The Joint Committee considers the bill and submits its report to both Houses of Parliament.<\/li>\n<li>The bill is then debated and voted upon by both Houses of Parliament.<\/li>\n<li>If the bill is passed by both Houses of Parliament, it is then sent to the President for his\/her assent.<\/li>\n<li>If the President gives his\/her assent to the bill, it becomes an amendment to the Constitution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The amendment procedure is a complex process that is designed to ensure that the Constitution is not amended lightly.
