This typically means that 38 out of the 50 states must vote in favor of the amendment. This high threshold ensures that amendments reflect a broad consensus across the country.

The number of states required to approve an important bill can vary depending on the context. For example, in the United States, a constitutional amendment must be ratified by three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the states. However, for regular legislation, it typically needs to pass through both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President, without requiring state approval.

This action, if it occurred, would result in a Constitutional Convention in order to add the amendment. This process has never been used to add any amendment. The more usual process is the creation of a joint resolution of Congress, which is approved by two-thirds votes in both houses and forwarded to the National Archivist for inclusion in the Constitution.
