What fraction of state legislatures must approve an amendment before it becomes law? (1 point) Responses one-half one-half three-fifth three-fifth two-thirds two-thirds three-fourths

Answer 1

To propose a constitutional amendment in the United States, it must be approved by two-thirds (or three-fourths depending on the context) of both houses of Congress, or by two-thirds of state legislatures calling for a convention. However, in the context of state legislatures approving an amendment, it is typically three-fourths that must ratify the amendment for it to become law.

So, the correct answer is three-fourths.
