Bicameral.
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.
