How is a constitutional amendment ratified and what is the process involved?
A constitutional amendment is ratified through a process that involves two steps. First, the amendment must be proposed, typically by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

What power is exercised when the state legislatures or national conventions vote for or against a constitutional amendment?
When state legislatures or national conventions vote for or against a constitutional amendment, they exercise the power of ratification. This process allows them to either approve or reject proposed amendments to the Constitution, as outlined in Article V. Ratification reflects the states' role in shaping constitutional law and ensuring that proposed changes have widespread support across the nation. This power is crucial for maintaining the balance between federal and state authority in the constitutional amendment process.
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.)
