Legal act proposed in a bill or motion, that adds, changes, substitutes, omits or abolishes clauses to one or several other acts which previously adopted or projected
An amendment is a formal or official change made to a law, contract, constitution, or other legal document. It is based on the verb to amend, which means to change for better. Amendments can add, remove, or update parts of these agreements. They are often used when it is better to change the document than to write a new one. Only the legislative branch is involved in the amendment process. Wikipedia
