2 answers:

8 0

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.

There are two ways to change the Constitution: in the congressional proposal and the state convention method. Congressional proposal method requires two-thirds of the two chambers of Congress must propose amendments, whereas the state convention method requires two-thirds of the states must ask Congress to hold the convention.

EXPLANATION

Article V is an article explaining the constitutional amendment process, but the Framers intended that the amendment process is not easy: although the federal government can also add amendments, three-quarters of states must ratify each amendment.

Congress has proposed 27 amendments to the United States Constitution. 26 of them have been passed by three-quarters of the state legislature. The remaining amendments were ratified by three-quarters of the state conventions.

Whereas in the state convention method, two-thirds of the states must ask Congress to hold the convention. Then an amendment will be proposed at this meeting. As in the method of a congressional proposal, the proposed amendment must then be ratified by three-quarters of the state conventions or the state legislature, as chosen by Congress. However, the state convention method has never been used to amend.

Grady firmly believed in the need to promote industrial investment from the North, a reinitiation of the Southern industries, a change in the trust between North and South to increase investment. When he returned to Atlanta, Grady dedicated himself to underlining the magnificence of Atlanta as a center over Macon, Athens and Augusta. Despite the favorable effects that Grady had to improve the economical growth of Georgia, but most importantly of Atlanta, he was highly critized by his peers and fellow Georgians for exposing the South with his ideas and policies to the control and subjugation of the North, selling the South to the North and inviting oppression on Souther farmers. He was also critized for attempting to show the North a more bening stand on the issue of freed slaves and slavery. Grady died on December of 1889.
