The state convention method is a process used by some U.S. states to select delegates for presidential nominating conventions. In this method, party members gather at local or district conventions to elect delegates who will represent them at the state convention. The state convention then selects delegates to the national convention based on the preferences expressed by the local party members. This approach allows for a more organized and deliberative selection process, often involving party leaders and activists.
What else can I help you with?
The constitution allows congress to call a convention to propose an amendment if it has been requested by a two thirds majority vote of?
both houses of Congress or by two thirds of the state legislatures. This method of proposing amendments is known as a constitutional convention. However, to date, no constitutional convention has been called through this method, and all 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by Congress.
How is the constitutional amended?
Article V of the Constitution provides two methods to propose amendments and two methods for ratification. Constitutional amendment proposals in method one are by joint resolution of the Congress with a 2/3 vote in each house. (This is the only method that has been used.) Method two is by way of petitions to Congress by 2/3 of the states to conduct a convention for proposing amendments, and then holding such a convention. (An Article V convention has never been held). Amendments proposed by either the congressional method or the convention method are then submitted to the states for ratification. There are two possible methods here as well. Ratification can be done by way of the votes of the state legislatures or by specially elected delegates to state ratification conventions. In either case, ratification requires the votes of 3/4 of the states. The convention method was used in the case of the 21st Amendment (repeal of prohibition).

How are amendments made?
The first method of amendment is the only one actually used so far. An amendment is proposed in the Congress and approved by at least two thirds of each house. It must then be ratified by three fourths of the states. Either of two methods of state ratification can be chosen by Congress: approval by the state legislatures or by a special convention in each state. The second method of amending the Constitution has never been used successfully since the original Constitutional Convention. If two thirds of the state legislatures approve of a convention for proposing amendments, any amendments coming out of the convention are submitted for ratification by the states. This has been tried several times in recent decades to advance amendments requiring a balanced budged, term limits and the like.
How were representatives to the Constitutional Convention chosen?
