Amendment Process (Article V)

I'm just going to be mainly referring to the congressional proposal method, since the convention method as never been used before.

First, the amendment goes through

proposal by 2/3 of Congress.

Second, the amendment gets

ratified by 3/4 of state legislatures.

If mandated by Congress, each state may have to use a **ratifying convention**, which is…

when elected delegates vote on the amendment.

The **ratifying convention** has been used once for the…

21st Amendment - ended prohibition.
