Three-fourths of state legislatures must approve an amendment proposed by Congress to the United States Constitution. An alternate method of ratification is for three-fourths of states must vote in favor of the amendment during a ratifying convention. This alternate method has only been used one time, for the ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment which repealed Prohibition.
The method of formal amendment that has only been used once is by a proposition by Congress and ratification by conventions, called for that purpose, in 3/4 of the states. The only time it was used was for the 21st amendment of the Constitution.
