Who can amend the constitution and bylaws at the annual meeting?

The correct answer is that only the delegates can amend the constitution and bylaws at the annual meeting. This is typically established to ensure that any changes to the governing documents of the organization are made by representatives who have been elected or delegated specifically for that purpose. Delegates often represent the interests of their local chapters or sections, ensuring that amendments reflect a broader consensus within the membership rather than a decision made by a singular authority or a small group.

This process fosters democratic participation among the members and ensures that a diverse range of opinions and perspectives are included in any potential amendments. The involvement of delegates also serves as a check on the power of other groups within the organization, ensuring that the rules governing the organization evolve in a way that has the support of its membership.
