Answer:
In the United States of America, the process by which an amendment becomes part of the constitution is:
Step 1: Proposal
According to the US's constitution, a proposal for amendment may be put forward either by Congress or by a constitutional convention
Step 2: Two-thirds of state legislature request a national convention: The constitution also requires that the congress whilst making the proposal have a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate
Step 3: Amendment must be submitted as a joint resolution
Step 4: The original document is forwarded to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) of the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) for processing and publication
Step 5: The OFR before it is published must add legislative history notes to the joint resolution (JT). It is then published in a slip law format.
Step 6: Next the OFR is required to collate an information package to be sent to the States which includes formal "red-line" copies of the JT, copies of the JT in slip law format, and the statutory procedure for ratification as required by the United States Constitution section 106b.
Step 7: The information package is submitted by the Archivist to each state with the documents address for the attention of each of the governors.
Step 8: The state governors must pass the information package to their legislative arms. The amendment is passed back to the Archivist upon ratification.
Step When 38 out of 50 states ratify an amendment, then it becomes part of the Constitution.
