To propose an amendment, there must be at least 2/3 of the people supporting the amendment from both sides of the Congress (House of Representatives and Senates). To ratify an amendment, the Congress (both sides) has to have 3/4 of the population supporting it. Therefore, it takes more people to ratify it than proposing it. Please edit if any of the readers thinks there's something more to it.

Well it only takes one person to have an idea for a proposal but that proposal may only serve a small number of people well so you need several to agree that it would be a good idea for every one. For instance one person may think it would be a good idea for every one to eat lots of liver and he could find folks that would agree with him. I, on the other hand hate liver so I don't want it to become law that I have to eat it. I would want several people voting on it protect me.
