a constitutional right to reject a decision or proposal made by a lawmaking body."neither state was given a veto over amendments to the Act”.

It's an absolute power of a member to block any proposal or resolution single handedly in an organisation.

I assume you are talking about United Nations Security Council. It has five permanent members apart from 10 temperory members,who get terms on rotation basis. The permanent got their position by virtue of they being nuclear powers. The permanent members have veto power. Any single permanent member can block any resolution in the council.The permanent members are:

1.USA

  1. Great Britain

3.France

4.Russia

  1. China

if you are talking about United Nations Security Council then Five members has the right to veto

Veto- A constitutional right that can be used to reject a decision or proposal made by a law making body. This is given as an absolute power that has no consequences inflicted upon the user body when used

Since the creation of UN five permanent members up to now has the power to use a veto.
They are-

  1. United States of America
  2. United Kingdom
  3. France
  4. Russia
  5. China
  1. United States
    The United States is a country headed by a president. This country gets veto power from the UN Security Council has actually been very long, even since the establishment of the UNSC.

  2. Russia
    The next country that gets veto power is Russia. This huge and powerful country in the world has been privileged after showing its deeper contribution to world peace in the presence of the UNSC.

  3. China
    China's state can be said to be the country that has the largest population in the world, even the natives of China can reach the country's corners. China is also one of the world's super powers so it is not surprising that this communist state gets veto power from the UNSC.

  4. England
    Alluding to the strongest superpower in the world, it certainly will not be separated from this one country, the article is a founder of the United Nations Security Council, so no wonder the country gets veto power.

  5. France
    Not only Britain and the United States alone are responsible for the founding of the UN Security Council, but France also takes part in the establishment of the World Peace Organization. this is what causes the French state to get veto power.
