A law is something you, personally, can violate. It carries consequences, like fines or jail time, if you violate it. You can break a law.

An act is a plan to do something. When it’s passed, the plan goes into action.

An article is a small section of a larger document, like the Constitution.

An amendment is a change to an existing law or document (like the Constitution).
