Chambers
There are only two groups that can propose an amendment to the US Constitution. These groups include the state legislatures and congress.
The proposal for an amendment to the Constitution is initiated by either a two-thirds vote from both houses of Congress or from two-thirds (34) of state legislatures' call for a national convention. Ratifying (approving) amendments can only occur when either three-fourths of state legislatures approve, or through three-fourths approval at a state convention.

Bicameral means that there are two houses or chambers. If the legislature had three houses or chambers, it would be called tricameral.
In the United States, Congress, the federal legislature, has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Similarly, most state legislatures also have two chambers, known as bicameral systems, although a few states, like Nebraska, have a unicameral legislature with only one chamber. Therefore, at the federal level, there are two chambers, and most states also have two, making the overall structure predominantly bicameral across the country.
A bicameral (state) legislature consists of two ("bi") chambers ("camer") and thus is "two-chambered" (bicameral). In the USA those two chambers are the Senate and the House of Representatives.( See also: bicameralism)
