Entrenchment is more than important than codification:
- It means to make it difficult to change the constitution.
- Entrenchment protects a constitution from short term amendments.
- This could prevent dictatorship as they won't be able to pull down important laws.
- The constitution is too important to be placed in the hands of a temporary govt.
- Therefore constitutional change must meet:
- Widespread support, such as a referendum.
- If it is in the long term interests of the country.
