Answer: C. New amendments to the Constitution must be ratified by state legislatures or conventions.

Explanation:

Congress may have the power to enact laws, but they cannot unilaterally change the Constitution. This power would make them absolute and beyond reproach because they could pass laws that are unconstitutional by changing the Constitution.

In view of that, the Constitution prohibits Congress from unilaterally changing it by providing that any new amendments to the Constitution be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions thereby limiting the powers of Congress.

telo118 [61]

<h2>The following challenges can come up when trying to tell people they can no longer enjoy boating, fishing or other recreational activities in an area that has been infested with Caulerpa taxifolia: </h2>

The people may pose questions like why are they not being allowed to do boating and other allied activities even when Caulerpa taxifolia is not harmful to humans.
A few may still attempt to access the reservoir/source of water and may put themselves and the management in trouble.
Some people might consume some aquatic animals that have died and come to the surface due to the infection caused by Caulerpa taxifolia.
