Answer 1

Based on the passage, the author likely supports the idea that "The U.S. Constitution is difficult to amend." The emphasis on democracy as a conversation suggests that the author values the deliberative and perhaps complex nature of the amendment process, which often requires extensive discussion and agreement among various stakeholders. Therefore, the statement reflecting that the Constitution is difficult to amend aligns with the notion of a thoughtful, rigorous conversation rather than a simplistic or easy process.
