Answer 2

The Constitution can be changed, or amended, in a few different ways. Here are four main points to understand:

1. **Proposal by Congress**: First, an amendment can be suggested by Congress. This happens when two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate agree on the change.

2. **Proposal by States**: Second, an amendment can also be proposed by a special convention. This happens if two-thirds of the state legislatures ask for it.

3. **Ratification by States**: After an amendment is proposed, it must be approved, or ratified, by three-fourths of the state legislatures, or by conventions in three-fourths of the states.

4. **Time Limit**: There is usually a time limit for how long an amendment can take to get ratified. If it doesn't get enough approval in that time, it won't become part of the Constitution.

So, in simple terms, to change the Constitution, a lot of people in Congress or the states need to agree on the change!

Answer 3

The Constitution can be amended in two main ways: Congress can propose an amendment if two-thirds of both the House and Senate agree, or two-thirds of state legislatures can call for a special convention. After that, the amendment needs to be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions to become part of the Constitution. There’s usually a time limit for this process to be completed.
