For Research: "How are Amendments Proposed/Ratified?"

Amendments to the Constitution are not simply thought of and put into the Constitution. Each proposed amendment must be ratified by three-quarters of the states of the country. The Amendment is put through a ratification process in which Congress deliberates on the Amendment's ability to help the country and whether or not the Amendment is reasonable and just (Cox).

First, the legislature must pass an act proposing a change to the Constitution. Once passed, the proposed amendments are put onto a ballot. Voting is held. For the ratification of a Constitutional amendment, majority vote for ratification must be acquired (Unknown 1).
