To propose a new amendment to the United States Constitution, one of the following methods is 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. **State Legislature Convention**: Alternatively, a new amendment can be proposed through a convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. This method has never been used.
Once proposed, an amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states.
If you have specific options in mind, please list them, and I can help you identify the necessary one.
