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.

Answer :)
I had a very good friend called Liam. I used to always go to the park with him and play with each other. but one day, his attitude seemed wired. I tried to talk to him, but he just ignored me, so i slapped him playfully in the arm, when he suddenly punched me in my stomach, and broke my rib. He ended up breaking his own fingers, but i just remember how mad he was at me, for a reason i never knew.
i hope this helps!! :)

this is a story from my friend who dosent mind me sharing, but here it goes.
along time ago when i was very little, i was being teased, but i made it seem like a big deal. One of the kids who was teasing told me to mind my own business, but i got mad so i defended myself and said, " you shodent say that." the kid was got very mad and actually came up to me and pulled my hair. I started to cry, because it hurt, but someone intervened and the kid got in trouble.
