Which process of proposal and ratification has been used most often in the US Constitution. Which has never been used. Any ideas why?
The process of amendment proposal used most often concerning the US Constitution is where a bill first has to pass through both Houses and then the states to be approved (or denied). There is another method mentioned in the Constitution, but it has never been used before. In this method, a Constitutional Convention would be called in order to propose the amendment, and afterwards the amendment is sent on to the States for approval. The two processes of ratification are: -Proposal receives a 2/3 majority vote from Congress -Proposal receives a 3/4 majority vote from the State I'm not sure which is most used or why.

Who aproves admendments to the constitution?
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).
How can an Amendment be prevented from passing?
An amendment can be prevented from passing if it does not get enough votes to be proposed (2/3 of both houses in Congress, through a constitutional convention called by 2/3 state legislatures). If an amendment is proposed it can still be prevented from passing by not getting enough votes ( 3/4 of legislatures in states must ratify, or 3/4 of the states must have individual constitutional conventions to ratify it.)
