Answer 1

Answer:

Proposals for an amendment to the Constitution can be made by Congress or by a National Convention

Explanation:

According to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution can be changed (By adding or eliminating an amendment) through 2 ways:

1. Both the Senate and the House of the U.S. Congress can propose an amendment by at least two-thirds of votes in favor, and it later has to be voted on by the state legislatures OR the state conventions. If the amendment is approved by at least three-fourths of the state legislatures or the state convention, it becomes a law.
2. The state legislatures can propose a National Convention with two-thirds of votes. In the National Convention, the amendment can be officially proposed. Once it is proposed, it has to be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures (or conventions in three-fourths of the states) to become law.
