First, it has to appear in either the Senate or House of Representatives, and be ratified by both. Then it has to be ratified by at least 2/3's of the states to be officially added as an amendment to the Constitution.

To amend the constitution a person will need to submit the proposal to the Governor of each of the States. When 38 out of the 50 states decide to ratify the amendment than it will become part of the Constitution.

The Legislative Branch of the federal government has the power to propose an amendment to the United States Constitution. In order for an amendment to be signed by the president and enacted into law, it must pass by a two thirds majority in both houses of congress.

You need to consult with an attorney who can review your error and draft a new affidavit to correct it. Very often when non-professionals draft their own legal documents and make a mistake, it gets worse as they try to correct it. In the end, resolving the errors can be costly. The best way to obtain effective legal documents is to have them drafted by an attorney.

A new amendment is written to replace the old one. Good example is the outlawing of alcohol sales in the 1920's and the lifting of prohibition in 1933.

Why do you think the US Constitution has been amended only twenty seven times?

Because to amend the Constitution you have to propose an amendment in Congress, then it has to be formally passed by Congress. After being passed by Congress, the amendment is sent to the states to be ratified, but it has to be ratified by 3/4 of the states within a 10 year limit, otherwise the amendment is not added to the list of amendments


Where in the constitution do the states get their reserved powers?

U.S. Const., Amend. IX:"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."U.S. Const., Amend. X:"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."Essentially, this means that constitutional powers enumerated in the Constitution are limited to those specified, and that residual rights are reserved to the States.
