Dumheter. Man behöver inte gå till domstol för att ändra lagar eller regler. Det kan de behöriga instanserna - t ex ett parlament - göra själva. Sedan kan, i bl a USA, ju någon dra ett fall till domstol och hävda att den nya lagen strider mot konstitutionen. Men det kan alltså göras först efter det att lagen/regeln trätt ikraft.
jasså du verkar inte ha någon koll. Så här går det till när man ändrar konstitutionen.
The Pennsylvania Constitution is only explicit about one way to change it; namely, the process of a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The constitution does not lay out the rules for how a constitutional convention can be called but, nevertheless, the state has held five such conventions, mostly recently in 1968 when the current constitution was adopted.[2]
The rules governing legislatively referred constitutional amendments are in Article XI, which has only one section. Features of Article XI are:
Either chamber of the Pennsylvania General Assembly can propose amendments.
If a simple majority of both chambers approves of a proposed amendment, that amendment must be "published three months before the next general election, in at least two newspapers in every county in which such newspapers shall be published."
In the next session of the legislature, the amendment must be considered again. If it is approved a second time by a simple majority of both houses, the amendment goes on a statewide ballot. This can be at any election date as determined by the state legislature.
"...no amendment or amendments shall be submitted oftener than once in five years."
Separate amendments must be voted on separately.
