Answer 1

To propose a new amendment to the Constitution, it is necessary to obtain approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate.

The correct option is:

• approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate.

After this, the amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states, but the question specifically asks about the proposal process.
