The first way to amend the U.S. Constitution begins in Congress, where a proposed amendment must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

In what ways are the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution similar?
The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution are similar in that they both establish a framework for government in the United States. However, the Constitution provides for a stronger central government with more specific powers and a system of checks and balances, while the Articles of Confederation created a weaker central government with more power given to the individual states.
In what ways was the Constitutional Congress lacking in authority?
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention were not authorized to write a new Constitution. They were only supposed to propose amendments to the Articles of Confederation. In that sense they had no authority at all to write a whole new constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.
Was it necessary to replace the Articles of Confederation with the second constitution?
Yes, because the United States under the Articles of Confederation operated as a loose group of individual states, which retained most of their sovereign status. States would be able to interfere with one another with no power over them to make them act as equals. In addition, the federal government had little authority to act as a government with foreign nations. The Articles simply did not establish a unified government. IF the switch had not been made to a government with a stronger federal system, the likelihood is that the individual states would have gone their own ways as they eventually tried to do before the Civil War.
How was the consitituation different from the Articles of Confederation?
A lot of ways. Perhaps the most important differences are that the Constitution had three branches, instead of just one, which balanced power better than in the Articles of Confederation, and it gave more power to the federal government.
