To propose a new amendment to the United States Constitution, one of the following methods is typically necessary:
1. **Congressional Proposal**: An amendment can be proposed by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
2. **Convention of States**: An amendment can also be proposed by a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures, although this method has never been used.
After an amendment is proposed through either of these methods, it must then be ratified by three-fourths (currently 38 out of 50) of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states.
