What did the founding fathers believe in article v do you feel this is important?
The Founding Fathers had concerns that the newly created federal government could lose the trust and confidence of the public. Thus they created the option in Article V for a convention of state delegates that could propose constitutional amendments as an alternative to Congress proposing amendments. In either case, proposed amendments would still have to be ratified by the states according to the requirements of Article V. Clearly, the founders feared that Congress might not propose amendments that impacted Congress itself. That is exactly what has happened. The public has lost confidence in Congress and Congress has refused to convene the first Article V convention, despite many hundreds of requests for one from the states. Learn the facts at foavc.org.

Do states ratify amendments?
The method of ratification is decided by the body that passes the amendment, which historically has been the US Congress (by 2/3 vote of both houses).In all but one case, the approved amendments were ratified by state legislatures.However, the language of the 21st Amendment (1933) specified its passage by state conventions rather than state legislatures. This was particularly chosen to avoid opposition by the same groups that had successfully lobbied for the passage of the 18th Amendment (Prohibition, 1920) which the 21st Amendment repealed.* Should a national constitutional convention (Article V Convention) successfully be called, it too would be empowered to specify the means by which any of its proposed amendments would be ratified.

How are amendments to a state constitution ratified?
It depends on the document. Amendments are ratified according to the rules set forth in the document being amended, or in statutes or regulations, depending upon what it is you are trying to amend. Amendments to a contract are ratified by mutual consent. Amendments to corporate bylaws are amended by the necessary percent of votes of the necessary quorum at a meeting called for the purpose of making the amendment. Amendments to the US Constitution are proposed and ratified according to the process listed in Article 5 of the Constitution, typically passage of the amendment by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress, followed by ratification by state legislatures in at least 3/4 of the individual states.
