Well you have some previously existing text with a specific meaning and you want to change the text or indeed change the meaning so you make an alteration. This is an amendment.

Examples:

"Henry made an amendment to his will to leave more money to his favourite charity".

"An amendment is created by Congress (The US House of Representatives and Senate). A 2/3 majority has to okay the creation of an amendment. In Total, there are 27 amendments to the US Constitution".

The man known as the father of the constitutional amendment that ended slavery is?

Thomas Jefferson wrote the amendment banning slavery in about 1787. The amendment did not progress at that time but was re-introduced almost verbatim in 1865. This might be an example of how slow government can work; 78 years for a simple, short amendment to pass. Thus Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
