A constitution that can be amended through ordinary law making process is said to be

Step 1: Analyze the question The question asks about the type of constitution that can be amended through the ordinary law-making process, meaning the same procedure the legislature uses to pass normal laws.

Step 2: Explain the concept Constitutions are classified by how difficult they are to amend:

• Rigid constitution: Amending it requires a special, difficult procedure. Examples are a two-thirds or three-fourths majority in the legislature, approval by state legislatures, or a referendum. The Nigerian 1999 Constitution and the US Constitution are examples.
• Flexible constitution: It can be amended in the same way as ordinary laws, usually by a simple majority in the legislature. The United Kingdom's constitution is the classic example.

Do not confuse this with written vs. unwritten. That classification is about whether the constitution is contained in a single formal document or is spread across customs, conventions, and statutes. It says nothing about how hard the constitution is to amend.

Step 3: Apply to the options

• A. Written: describes the form, not the amendment procedure. ✗
• B. Unwritten: also describes the form. ✗
• C. Rigid: requires a special procedure, the opposite of what the question describes. ✗
• D. Flexible: amended through the ordinary law-making process. ✓

Step 4: Answer The correct answer is **D.

💡 Exam tip: Link the words to their meanings: Rigid = Resistant to change (special procedure), Flexible = Easy to bend (ordinary law-making). When you see "ordinary law-making process" in a question, think flexible.
