What effect did the american offensive in the meuse argonne area have on ending world war 1
Anit [1.1K]

Llana [10]
The states and the congress. If a constitutional amendment is going to be ratified, first it has to get votes of support from 2/3 of both the house of representatives and the senate, after which it goes on voting in individual states, and if 3/4 of states ratify it then it becomes an official amendment of the constitution.

ANTONII [103]

Explanation:

The original states, except Rhode Island, collectively appointed 70 individuals to the Constitutional Convention. A number of these individuals did not accept or could not attend, including Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock. In all, 55 delegates attended the Constitutional Convention sessions, but only 39 actually signed the Constitution. The delegates ranged in age from Jonathan Dayton, aged 26, to Benjamin Franklin, aged 81, who was so infirm that he had to be carried to sessions in a sedan chair.
