When the constitution was ratified, it included no language at all about amending the foundation documents. See the links at the top of <http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution> for the relevant document history, and in particular <http://www.debian.org/vote/2003/vote_0003> (and the extensive list discussion from the corresponding period) which established the concept of Foundation Documents and the terms under which they can be amended. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
