The amendment process of the U.S. Constitution exemplifies federalism because it requires participation from both the national and state levels of government. To propose an amendment, either two-thirds of both houses of Congress or two-thirds of state legislatures must agree. Additionally, for an amendment to be ratified, three-fourths of the state legislatures or state conventions must approve it. This dual requirement reflects the balance of power between the federal and state governments inherent in the federalist system.
