Answer 1

There are facts to support it. In the story, the author provides historical facts and examples to support the claim that changing the Constitution is a difficult and deliberate process. The evidence includes the number of amendments made to the Constitution, the time it takes for an amendment to be ratified, and the specific hurdles that must be overcome to change the Constitution. All of these facts are verifiable and support the author's argument.
