formal- congress propose/ national convention propose---- then state legislature/state convention can ratify
To propose an amendment: 1. Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment, or 2. Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.
True.
Not entirely, although in theory there is a way to only indirectly involve Congress. If three-fourths of the states, through their legislatures, petition Congress to create a convention to propose amendments, then Congress is required to do so. However, this doesn't guarantee that the convention will propose the specific amendment any given group would like to see.
False. A convention, called for by at least 2/3 (34) of the states, can propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which must then, as with the Congress, be ratified by 75% (38) of the states.

YES

Because a convention is not needed to make an amendment. That is the beauty of the constitution.
Thomas Seymour never proposed to Elizabeth! He was Katherine parr's husband, and Elizabeth's guardian when she was taken in by Katherine parr after hermother's death. I'm pretty sure guardians do NOT propose to the children in their care, specially if they are married men!
