Answer:

Well, I answered your question before but this would not be the same from before :)

An amendment can be proposed by either a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a constitutional convention called by Congress at the request of the legislatures in two-thirds of the states. The constitutional convention method has never been used to propose an amendment.amendments are proposed by. Both houses of congress passing it by a 2/3 vote. 2/3 of state legislatures requested a national convention to make an amendment.amendments are ratified by. 3/4 of the state legislatures ratifying it. For a cloture: 16 senators must sponsor the bill.Article V of the Constitution prescribes how an amendment can become a part of the Constitution. While there are two ways, only one has ever been used. All 27 Amendments have been ratified after two-thirds of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and send it to the states for a vote. Then, three-fourths of the states must affirm the proposed Amendment.One of the main reasons for the 1787 Convention was that the Articles of Confederation required the unanimous consent of all 13 states for the national government to take action. This system had proved unworkable, and the newly written Constitution sought to address this problem.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!

The crafters of the United States constitution wanted a system of government wherein the people had a voice in their ruling but at the same time, the crafters were worried that the people would rule like a mob without checks and that the majority would persecute the minorities in the country.

Both the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists agreed that there were dangers inherent in the system, which is why the crafters created a system with checks and balances on the lawmaking process and a bicameral legislature with a body, the US Senate, whose job is to ensure that cooler heads always prevail.

This shows the influence of thinkers like Edmund Burke, a British philosopher, who advocated for incremental change.

The cost of this is that things do move slowly and sometimes the legislatures misses the ball. The response to this has been a stronger Executive branch with the power to create temporary executive orders but the process is still slow.

The benefit is an incremental system that has lasted longer than any system of Government in the world.

The question is whether or not America's system can adequately work in a time when new challenges and threats are coming every minute.
