Political scientists often find themselves tracking amendments to politicaltexts. As different actors weigh in, texts change as they are drafted andredrafted, reflecting political preferences and power. This study provides anovel solution to the prob- lem of detecting amendments to political text basedupon minimum edit distances. We demonstrate the usefulness of twolanguage-insensitive, transparent, and efficient minimum-edit-distancealgorithms suited for the task. These algorithms are capable of providing anaccount of the types (insertions, deletions, substitutions, and trans-positions) and substantive amount of amendments made between version of texts.To illustrate the usefulness and efficiency of the approach we replicate twoexisting stud- ies from the field of legislative studies. Our resultsdemonstrate that minimum edit distance methods can produce superior measures oftext amendments to hand-coded efforts in a fraction of the time and resourcecosts.
