How many were ratified by conventions held in the states?
Amendments to the United States Constitution can be proposed by either a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or by a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. Once proposed, amendments must be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of states to become part of the Constitution.
Proposed: by Congress (any house) or by a National Convention assembled at the request of 2/3s of the states legislatures. Ratified: 2/3s of the state legislatures or by 2/3s of those National Conventions assembled at the request of the states.
Amendments can be ratified by Legislatures of 2/3 of the states. Amendments can be proposed by 2/3 vote of each house of Congres.

No, as of now, no constitutional amendment has been ratified by a convention called for by the states. All amendments to the U.S. Constitution have been ratified either by state legislatures or by state conventions specifically called for that purpose. The process of state conventions for ratification remains untested, and the only instances of such conventions have occurred during the initial drafting of the Constitution itself.
True :)
Nine States were required. They were ratified by state conventions and not the state legislatures.
All Constitutional amendments to date have been ratified after approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate, as well as affirmation by three-fourths of the states. Another, unused, method involves two-thirds of state legislatures calling a Constitutional Convention, with three-fourths of the states approving the amendment.
Amendments to the United States Constitution must be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states, not specifically by the House of Representatives. The process begins with either a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate or a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. Once proposed, the amendment is then sent to the states for ratification. Therefore, the House does play a role in proposing amendments but not in the ratification process itself.
