intact

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unamended?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'congress introducing new law' is the wordplay.
'congress' becomes 'it' (congress can mean sex).
'introducing' is an insertion indicator (some letters introduced or inserted into others).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'law' becomes 'act' (I've seen this in another clue).
'it' going around 'n' is 'int'.
'int'+'act'='INTACT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intact that I've seen before include "Inviolate" , "Whole and undamaged" , "Unscathed" , "All in one piece" , "Perfect" .)
