Article V in the Constitution spells out the ways how a Constitution can be amendment or changed. All of the 27 amendments have been proposed by two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress, and only the Twenty-First Amendment was ratified by constitutional conventions of the states. All other amendments have been ratified by state legislature.

∙ 14y agoAmendments to the Constitution can be passed in one of two ways, both of which were laid out by the Framers in Article V of the Constitution. First, the amendment must be purposed, either by two thirds of both houses of Congress, or two thirds of the legislatures of the states can request a national convention to purpose an amendment. Once the amendment has been purposed, it then must be ratified by three fourths of the state legislatures or by three fourths of specially created ratifying conventions in the states.
