the four possible methods of formal amendments are...
1.] an amendment may be proposed by a two thirds vote in each house of the congress and ratified by three0fourths of the state legislatures.
2.] an amendment may be proposed by by congress and then ratified by conventions, called for that purpose, in three fourths of the states .
3.] an amendment may be proposed by a national convention, called by the congress at the request of two thirds of the state legislatures- today, 34.
4.] an amendment may be proposed by a national convention and ratified by the conventions in three fourths of the states.
One of the ways the Constitution can be amended is that the proposed amendment is ratified by two-thirds of the House and Senate. It then must be ratified by three-fourths of the state. Another way that the Constitution can be amended is by Congress calling an Article V Convention if two-thirds of the state legislatures have demanded an amendment. Then, the proposed amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
The first method of a formal amendment can be proposed by 2/3 vote in each house and ratified by 3/4 of state legislature. The second method is if the amendment is proposed by 2/3 majority in both houses and ratified by 3/4 of the States. A third method allows an amendment to be proposed by national convention as requested by 2/3 of the Senate and ratified by 3/4 of state legislature. The fourth method allows an amendment to be proposed by national convention as requested by 2/3 Senate and ratified by conventions in 3/4 of the States.

Some refer to an amendment that results in a change or addition that becomes part of the written language of the Constitution itself as a "formal amendment," but there is no such term. Amendments that have been proposed by both Houses of Congress jointly, and have gone through the formal process of ratification by two-thirds of the states become amendments to the Constitution.
The framers of the Constitution knew that it would have to be changed in time.
