The two steps in the second method of amending the Constitution are: proposal by Congress and ratification by conventions.
The two steps are: 1. The house and senate pass the amendment with a 2/3 vote. 2. The amendment is then ratified by 3/4 of the states (currently would require 38).
Two ways: First, an amendment may be proposed if two-thirds of both houses of Congress approve the amendment and agree to send it to the states.Second, an amendment can be proposed if Congress calls for a national convention at the request of two-thirds of all of the state legislatures.
