Article V
2/3 of the Senate and House of Representatives must pass it; then it must be passed by 3/4 of the state legislatures
Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution states:"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, . . . "Note that the words "Republican Form of Government" were capitalized in the US Constitution itself, making it crystal clear that a particular form of government is both mentioned in and guaranteed by the Constitution.
Ammending the Constitution means making a change in its provisions.
The major weaknesses of the U.S. Constitution is its conciseness. By making the text of the Constitution so short and not explaining the meaning and limits of each article and provision in more detail, the document left the door open to interpretation by those that do not wish to accept the original intent and limits of each article.
The Amendment Process (outlined in Article V) is meant to be drawn-out and complicated. The Founders made it this way because they didn't want the Constitution to be confused with common legislation and wanted to keep it as higher law (we see this in the supremacy clause of Article 6, clause 2). There are three subsets of majorities: a simple majority (or half plus one - over 50%), a super majority (or 2/3), and a super super majority (3/4). The simple majority requirement for propositions for amendments would make it extremely easy for an amendment to get proposed (especially contemporarily with all the party politics), and therefore would not fall into line with the "higher law" ideal of the document. a super super majority (3/4) would make it too complicated for a proposal to pass, and could prevent necessary and vital amendments from every being ratified, therefore, the super super majority is only used for ratification of amendments, to ensure that the amendment is necessary and appropriate. Therefore, the super majority of 2/3 was decided upon making it not too simple, yet not to complicated to propose amendments, ensuring that the proposal was valid enough to pass with 66%.
Article V of the US Constitution establishes the basic means of making amendments.

There is no such amendment. The Constitution itself says this. (Article I, section 7... it's located, somewhat confusingly, in the Article dealing primarily with the Legislative, rather than the Executive, branch, because it has to do with the procedure for making laws.)
