===Belgium=== The [[Constitution of Belgium]] can be amended by the federal legislative power, which consists of the [[Belgian monarchy|King]] (in practice, the [[Belgian Federal Government|Federal Government]]) and the [[Belgian Federal Parliament|Federal Parliament]]. In order to amend the Constitution, the federal legislative power must declare the reasons to revise the Constitution in accordance with Article 195. This is done by means of two so-called [[Declaration of Revision of the Constitution|Declarations of Revision of the Constitution]], one adopted by the [[Belgian Chamber of Representatives|Chamber of Representatives]] and the [[Belgian Senate|Senate]], and one signed by the King and the Federal Government. Following this declaration, the Federal Parliament is automatically dissolved and a new [[Elections in Belgium|federal election]] must take place. This makes it impossible to amend the Constitution unless an election has intervened. Following the election, the new Federal Parliament can amend those articles that have been declared revisable. Neither Chamber can consider amendments to the Constitution unless at least two-thirds of its members are present and the Constitution can only be amended if at least two-thirds of the votes cast are in favour of the amendment.
