What process does the constitution requires three fourths majority?

I believe it is the process of changing something that has already been previously established. The founders concluded that if something has already been considered, voted on and passed by the body, then it should be a little harder to undo it; otherwise matters settled by narrow margins could conceivably shift along with small changes to the roll of legislators, or with some otherwise minor development seized upon by an overzealous minority.
An example is the process of amending the Constitution. Three fourths of the states must approve an amendment before it becomes law. No other legislative vote is needed, and no veto from any branch of government can stop it. But getting three fourths of the states to agree to something is not easy.

Why does the formal amendment process reflect federalism?
The formal amendment process, to the Constitution, requires a supermajority vote in the Senate, and consent (agreement) by three fourths of the states. This process involves most of the U.S., and is, therefore, a federal process. No state, acting alone can change or amend the Constitution (and, therefore, 'states rights' do not apply here).
How can changes be made to the Constitution?
First of all, a two thirds majority of each house of Congress must propose the amendment. Then, a three fourths majority of the states must ratify the amendment.
Explain how the constitution could be changed?
The Constitution can be changed through the process of amendment. An amendment can be proposed either by two-thirds of both houses of Congress or by a national convention called by Congress when requested by two-thirds of the state legislatures. For an amendment to be ratified and become part of the Constitution, it requires approval by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions in three-fourths of the states. This process ensures that any changes to the Constitution are carefully considered and have broad support across the country.
The second step to amending the constitution Is that an amendment must be approved by?
Amendments to the Constitution may originate from either body of Congress or from a Convention called into creation by two thirds of the state legislatures. Amendments from the former must pass both bodies of Congress with a two thirds majority at which point the Amendment is considered proposed to the states and the ratification process begins. For proposed Amendments to become law three fourths of the states' Legislatures must approve ratification of the Amendment. Currently this requires 38 of the 50 states.The President plays no official role in the passage or rejection of Amendments to the Constitution. The President has no veto power in the process.

According to artical 5 what does it mean?
Article Five of the United States Constitution describes the process by which the Constitution may be altered. Amendments may be proposed by the United States Congress or by a national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the states. Amendments must then be ratified either by approval of the legislatures of three-fourths of the states or ratifying conventions held in three-fourths of the states.
Can the president remove the judge from the bench if he disagrees with the supreme court decision?
No, he can not. Removal of a judge from the supreme court requires a majority in the Congress. I think it requires a two thirds majority. Need to check. The process is called impeachment.
What is article 5 of constitution?
Article V of the Constitution explains the amendment process of the Constitution, that is, how the Constitution may be amended. There are two processes for proposing amendments, either by two-thirds vote in each house of Congress or by an Article V Convention. All amendments thus far to the Constitution have been by proposal of Congress. The reason a convention to propose amendments, or Article V Convention has never been called despite the 750 applications from all 50 states, is because Congress refuses to obey the Constitution and call the convention. The Constitution mandates that if two-thirds of the state legislatures (34) apply for a convention, Congress must call it. A convention can only propose amendments to the present Constitution and is not empowered to write or propose a new or replacement Constitution. Regardless of how an amendment is proposed it must be ratified in the states either by three fourths vote in the state legislatures or by three fourths vote in state ratifying conventions. The method of ratification is by choice of Congress but Congress has no power to withhold a proposed amendment or veto it once it has been ratified. Once an amendment is ratified, it becomes part of our present Constitution.
