Amending the U.S. Constitution is a two-step process involving both proposal and ratification. Here are the steps outlined:

### Proposal

There are two methods for proposing an amendment:

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 Method**:
- Alternatively, an amendment can be proposed by a national convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures (34 out of 50 states). This method has never been used.

### Ratification

Once an amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by the states. There are two methods for ratification:

1. **State Legislatures**:
- An amendment can be ratified by a three-fourths majority of state legislatures (38 out of 50 states).

2. **State Conventions**:
- An amendment can also be ratified by conventions held in three-fourths of the states. This method has only been used once (for the 21st Amendment).

### Time Limit
Congress may set a time limit for ratification. If the amendment is not ratified within that timeframe, it may become invalid.

Overall, amending the Constitution is a deliberately challenging process, requiring broad consensus across both federal and state levels.
