What is the primary method for amending the constitution-?

Answer 1

U.S. Constitution Article 5: "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress."

Answer 2

There are several methods that can be used to amend the US Constitution. The Congress can agree to change the Constitution by getting a vote of two thirds of the representatives. Another method is for state legislatures to ask Congress to convene a convention in order to change the Constitution.

Answer 3

The only method used thus far after the first 10, I.e. Bill o Rights, and thus most common or primary is ratification by 3/4 of Congress and ratification by 3/4 of the state legislatures.

Answer 4

The primary method for amending the constitution involves passing both houses of the legislature. This should be by a two-thirds majority before moving to the states.
