The U.S. Constitution can be amended through two primary methods of proposal and two primary methods of ratification. Here’s a breakdown of these methods:
### Proposal Methods:
1. **By Congress**: An amendment can be proposed by a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
2. **By State Legislatures**: An amendment can be proposed by a national convention called for by two-thirds of state legislatures (this method has never been used).
### Ratification Methods:
1. **By State Legislatures**: An amendment can be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the states.
2. **By State Conventions**: An amendment can also be ratified by conventions held in three-fourths of the states (this method has also been used once, for the 21st Amendment).
### Summary of Answers:
- **Proposed**:
- By Congress (2/3 vote in each house)
- By national convention (2/3 request of state legislatures)
- **Ratified**:
- By state legislatures (3/4 of states)
- By state conventions (3/4 of states)
In essence, the Constitution allows for flexible methods for making amendments to ensure both federal and state involvement.
