I only know half of the answer. I know that one Method by which the constitution can be amended is that 2/3 of both houses need to vote for the amendment to be debated and discussed. Then 3/4 of the states have to vote yes for it to become part of the constitution. The second method is that 2/3 of the state legislators call for a convention.
