If you're asking because of gun control talk, I'll tell you this much:
If they try to "amend" the second amendment, they will not succeed in taking our right to keep and bear arms. Hence RIGHT, not EXPENDABLE PRIVILEGE. We will not surrender our firearms so do not be concerned about what it takes to amend the Constitution. We will not allow a perfect document such as itself to be amended to take our rights.
Passage of the proposed amendment by 3/5 of the state's legislatures.
An amendment may become part of the US Constitution on ratification. Ratification requires that three fourths of the states vote for the amendment in their state legislatures.

The Constitution can be changed through the process of amendment. An amendment can be proposed either by two-thirds of both houses of Congress or by a national convention called by Congress when requested by two-thirds of the state legislatures. For an amendment to be ratified and become part of the Constitution, it requires approval by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions in three-fourths of the states. This process ensures that any changes to the Constitution are carefully considered and have broad support across the country.
The amendment process of the U.S. Constitution exemplifies federalism because it requires participation from both the national and state levels of government. To propose an amendment, either two-thirds of both houses of Congress or two-thirds of state legislatures must agree. Additionally, for an amendment to be ratified, three-fourths of the state legislatures or state conventions must approve it. This dual requirement reflects the balance of power between the federal and state governments inherent in the federalist system.
The 14th amendment prevents states from denying any citizen equal protection under the law. No state may pass a law which would abridge the rights granted US citizens by the Constitution.
