In comparison to the United States Constitution, how difficult is it to amend State constitutions
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.
It requires a 2/3 majority which is 34 states.
The formal amendment process, to the Constitution, requires a supermajority vote in the Senate, and consent (agreement) by three fourths of the states. This process involves most of the U.S., and is, therefore, a federal process. No state, acting alone can change or amend the Constitution (and, therefore, 'states rights' do not apply here).

The first way to amend the U.S. Constitution begins in Congress, where a proposed amendment must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Once Congress passes the amendment, it is sent to the states for ratification, where three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions must approve it for the amendment to become part of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court does not have the power to amend the Constitution. Only the process of constitutional amendment outlined in Article V of the Constitution can be used to amend the Constitution. The Court's role is to interpret the Constitution and its amendments, not to amend them.
