The constitution can be amended two ways outside of Congress. One is to hold a constitutional convention that would need to initiated by 2/3 (34 states) of the several states, followed by the convention and anything from the constitutional convention must be ratified by the 3/4 (38 states) of the several states. Another way is to simply proposed an amendment and have it pass through a state legislature or a state convention, which will then need to be ratified by 3/4 (38 states) of the several states. read article 5 of the constitution
None. The Constitutional Convention occurred before the states ratified the Constitution, and before Congress created the Federal court system.The US Supreme Court was established by the Judiciary Act of 1789, under Article III of the Constitution, and met for the first time on February 2, 1790. They did not hear their first case for approximately two years.
Amendments can be proposed and passed by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate), then must be ratified by at least three-fourths of the state legislatures. Optionally, two-thirds of the States may call a Constitutional Convention to propose an amendment, which must then be ratified by at least three-fourths of the state legislatures. The last Constitutional Convention in the United States was held in Philadelphia in 1787.
