Answer 1

Select:
- The state legislature can write and submit amendments to state voters.
- The legislature can call a constitutional convention for the purpose of amending the document.

Why the others are incorrect:
- Creating an independent commission to review and suggest amendments is not a standard constitutional amendment route (commissions may study issues but cannot unilaterally amend the constitution).
- “When 2/3 of the population creates and signs a petition” is incorrect — amendments are proposed by legislatures or a convention (Article V) or by other formal state procedures, not by a two‑thirds‑of‑the‑population petition.
