An amendment takes an act of two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states.

Further Explanation:

An amendment is essentially a law. The Constitution of the US is made up of numerous amendments (27 to be exact). These amendments help to determine what right citizens possess within American society. In order to create a new amendment, two-thirds of Congress (including the Senate and House of Representatives) must approve of the amendment. After that, the amendment then goes to the states for voting. If three-fourths of the states agree to this new amendment, then it is added to the constitution.

However, if three-fourths of the states do not approve of the amendment then it is NOT added to the Constitution. This happened before in American society with the Equal Rights Amendment. Even though it was passed by both parts of Congress, not enough states approved of this amendment so it never became law.

An amendment takes an act of two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. The changes in the amendment could be proposed either in Congress or states. The proposal must have 2/3 of both houses in congress agreeing to the amendment. Meanwhile, the state must as well have 2/3 of the state legislatures to propose the amendment. Regardless of whoever proposed the amendment, it must be ratified by ¾ of the states.

Which TWO events increased support for secession among Georgia's leaders?
Anit [1.1K]

The correct answers are B) Abraham Lincoln, a Republican who opposed the expansion of slavery in the federal territories, was elected president in 1860. D) The Georgia Platform included acceptance of the Compromise of 1850 and a warning that Congress must not violate any of its terms.

Those were the two events that increased support for secession among Georgia's leaders.

Georgia played a key role as one of the southern states that were convinced that recently elected President, Abraham Lincoln meant more problems for southerners due to his ideas on slavery and support of abolition.

It was just a matter of time after the election of Abraham Lincoln to start secession. The first state to secede was South Carolina, and then, the other southern states followed it. The American Civil War was close.

Limang pangungusap na nagpapahayag ng opinyon tungkol sa suliraning pangkapaligiran​
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1. Nararapat lamang na itapon natin ang basura sa tama nitong kalalagyan upang di maduming tingnan ang ating kapaligiran at upang malayo tayo sa mga sakit kapag itoy nagkalat dahil sa ulan.

2. Sa aking palagay nararapat na ding itigil ang pagputol ng mga puno upang di makalbo ang kagubatan na siyang tahanan ng mga hayop at upang walang gaanong pinsala o baha pag dumating ang bagyo.

3. Karapat-dapat na ding itigil ang planta dahil ang usok nito ay nakadagdag ng polusyon sa hangin at higit pa nakakasira sa ating ozone layer.

4. Nararapat na ding hinay-hinayin ang pagdami ng tao dahil isa din itong suliranin sa ating pangkapaligiran ang pagdami ng populasyon ng tao.

5. Bilang tao nararapat tayong maging responsable sa hakbang na ating gagawin pag-isipan nating maigi kung ito ba'y nakakatulong o nakakasama sa kapaligiran na siyang dahilan ng pagkaubos ng ating likas na yaman.
