Three quarters of the States would need to ratify the result of a new Constitutional Convention.
Constitutional amendments in the United States are ratified by a three-fourths majority of state legislatures or by a ratifying convention held in three-fourths of the states. The final authority rests with the states, not the federal government.
It is not a new law that Congress can propose that takes the ratification of three-fourth's of the states. It is the proposal of a constitutional amendment. If two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose a particular constitutional amendment, at least three-fourths of the legislatures of the fifty states must vote to ratify the proposed amendment before it can become law. The proposal can be made by national convention also. See Sources and related links for more information.

Amendments are changes in, or additions to, the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution provides two ways to amend the document: Proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress or by a convention called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the states. An amendment, in order to become part of the Constitution, must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
The Constitution of the United States may be altered legally in two ways:First, by vote of two thirds of both houses of the Congress of the United States and then upon ratification (either by the state legislature or by a ratifying convention as required by state law) by three fourths of the state legislatures and/or ratifying conventions.Second, by a Constitutional Convention called by the legislatures of two thirds of the states. Scholars disagree on how such a convention would be structured and if what it considers can be limited or expanded upon. In theory a Constitutional Convention may be able to throw out the entire Constitution and replace it with something else, and if three fourths of the states could be enjoined to ratify that move, our whole form of government would change. After all, it was the Second Constitutional Convention in 1787 that threw out the Articles of Confederation, under which our government had been operating since winning the war over England, and replaced them with the Constitution that we now operate under.
there are none its all tru
A constitutional amendment would have to be proposed, either by the congress or a constitutional convention, and then the amendment would have to be ratified by three fourths of the states.
