Read Article V very carefully.

Answer 2

Our founding fathers knew that their Constitution wasn't perfect and would need additions (amendments) as time went on.

This site explains how to amend the Constitution.

Is this ok??

Answer 5

Read it aloud to someone so you catch any errors, such as the need for “an” in front of “amendment.”

Answer 6

No.

How Amendments Are Made

It takes two steps to add an amendment to the Constitution:

"Step 1: Proposal - An amendment can be proposed by either a two-thirds vote in Congress, including both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or a national convention made up of two-thirds of the states. All our current amendments were proposed by Congress.

Step 2: Ratification - Next, the amendment has to be ratified. It can be ratified by either three-fourths of the state legislatures or by state conventions in three-fourths of the states. Only the 21st amendment used the state convention method."
