Question

Which of the following is necessary to propose a new amendment to the constitution would it be approval by a popular vote held in every state approval by 2/3 of the house in? of the Senate or approval by the legislators and at least 3/4 of the states

Answer 1

To propose a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution, it is necessary to have approval by 2/3 of the House of Representatives and 2/3 of the Senate, or by a constitutional convention called for by 2/3 of the state legislatures. Once proposed, the amendment must then be ratified by approval of 3/4 of the state legislatures or by conventions in 3/4 of the states. Therefore, the correct answer focuses on the need for 2/3 approval in Congress for proposal and 3/4 approval in the states for ratification, but you did not specify which part you were asking about. The specific option regarding "approval by the legislators and at least 3/4 of the states" relates to the ratification process rather than the proposal process.
