Artikel 142: Adaptation of the Constitution to the Statute of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

Please note: Only the Dutch-language version of the Constitution has legal effect. 

The final article of the Constitution stipulates that the Constitution may be brought into conformity with the Statute for the Kingdom of the Netherlands by law. Since the Constitution must observe the provisions of the Statute, the ordinary legislative procedure is sufficient for such an adjustment. However, this possibility of adjustment has never been used to date.
