The part of the ratification process in the U.S. Constitution that has never been used is:
**1. Congress calls for a national convention.**
While the Constitution allows for two methods of proposing amendments, one of which includes a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures, this method has never been used. All amendments to date have been proposed either by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or by the other method (state conventions), which is also an option for ratification, but it has been used only once.
