Who can propose Constituitional amendments?

The US Congress ( i.e. the legislative branch of the federal government)can propose amendments to the US Constitution . A 2/3 vote in both houses is required . (The president does not have sign proposed amendments and he can not veto them.)There is a second method of proposing amendments, and that is for a Convention to be called for the proposing of amendments. Either Congress by a 2/3 vote or 2/3 of the state legislatures can call for such a convention to be held. This method has never been tried.In either case, a proposed amendment does not become law until 3/4 of the states ratify it.The amendment process is given in Article V of the Constitution.Read more: Who_has_the_power_to_propose_amendments_to_the_US_constitution


What type of government did the Virginia Plan support and what states did it a favor?

The Virginia Plan, proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, proposed a bicameral legislature (a legislative branch with two houses: an upper and a lower), where the lower house was elected by the people, and the upper house by the lower house. It favored larger states, such as Virginia, by proposing a representation in voting based on population.
