Article Five of the United States Constitution
describes the process whereby the Constitution, the nation's frame of
government, may be altered. Altering the Constitution consists of
proposing an amendment or amendments and subsequent ratification.
Amendments may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a convention of states called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures.To become part of the Constitution, an amendment must be ratified by
either—as determined by Congress—the legislatures of three-fourths of
the states or State ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states.[2] The vote of each state (to either ratify or reject a proposed amendment) carries equal weight, regardless of a state’s population or length of time in the Union.
Additionally, Article V temporarily shielded certain clauses in Article I from being amended. The first clause in Section 9, which prevented Congress from passing any law that would restrict the importation of slaves prior to 1808, and the fourth clause in that same section, a declaration that direct taxes
must be apportioned according to state populations, were explicitly
shielded from Constitutional amendment prior to 1808. It also shields
the first clause of Article I, Section 3, which provides for equal representation of the states in the United States Senate, from being amended, though not absolutely.
<em>Context helps readers guess that "inchoation" in this passage describes experiences that are </em><u>preliminary </u><em>and </em><u>universal</u><em>.</em>
In the excerpt, the narrator tries to capture the experience that a reader has when he or she encounters with a fascinating and shivering passage. The <em>inchoation,</em> or beginning, (<em>Merriam Webster</em>), represent the start of an enthralling feeling that is <u>preliminary</u>, as it prepares the reader for richer and more important experiences, and could encompass something that is inherent in human life, i.e. <u>universal</u>. A sudden thrill that pulls the strings of the soul and deeply connects with the reader. These experiences are unexpected, and they are the beginning of something much bigger and enriching that may change the reader forever.
A connotation is a word that suggests a meaning as to its literal meaning. An example would be pus immediately we thing of it as a negative or even icky word and it has a negative or "pejorative" connotation, when it is really a thick, yellow thing from a infected wound.
