What are two ways in which congress has formally amended the constitution?
Article V of the U.S. Constitution sets out two ways for amending the Constitution. The first, which is the only method that has ever been used, is through Congress, which has the power to propose amendments to the states when two-thirds of the members of Congress vote in favor. The second method of amendment is through a convention (or "Article V convention") to propose amendments requested by the states. When two-thirds of the state legislatures make requests to Congress, then Congress is obligated to call an Article V convention. The convention only has the power to propose amendments, just like Congress. The framers of the Constitution included this second method of amending the Constitution because they were afraid that there would come a time when Congress was corrupt and refused to propose needed amendments. They thus also gave power to amend to the states, so that the states could circumvent Congress if it ever became corrupt and unresponsive to the will of the people.After an amendment has been proposed by Congress or by an Article V convention, it then goes to the states for ratification. An amendment only becomes a part of the Constitution if it is ratified by three-fourths of the states.There are two ways to change the Constitution of the United States, formally and informally.There are several ways to informally change the Constitution. One example is Article I, Section 8, Clause 18. It is known as the "elastic clause" because it "stretches" the power of Congress. This gives Congress the power to pass laws considered "necessary and proper" for carrying out the other powers of Congress. The development of political parties, political custom, and tradition are also informal ways to change the Constitution. For example, the Constitution says nothing about the President's Cabinet to help him/her make decisions. This was begun by Washington and developed over the years by presidents who felt they needed special advisors for various subjects.The Amendment process is the formal way to change the Constitution. An amendment may be proposed by two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a convention called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures. Ratification of an amendment takes three-fourths of the states to approve.
