text description for diagram
what was the process illustrated in the diagram designed to do?
a. prevent certain parts of the constitution from ever being changed
b. prevent small political groups from blocking changes to the constitution
c. make it difficult for the constitution to be amended
d. limit the individual states roles in altering the constitution

Explanation:

The process of passing a constitutional amendment requires a high - level of support (two - thirds of Congress and three - fourths of states). This high threshold makes it difficult for the Constitution to be amended. Option A is incorrect as it doesn't prevent all changes. Option B is wrong because the process is about making it hard to amend, not about blocking small groups (the high numbers are to make it hard, not to counter small groups). Option D is incorrect as states have a significant role (three - fourths approval).

Answer:

C. Make it difficult for the Constitution to be amended
