ninth amendment
Connecticut and Rhode Island
It is the most recent amendment to the United States Constitution. It was submitted by Congress to the states for ratification on September 25, 1789.
The states that voted against the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States, were Delaware, Kentucky, and Mississippi. While the amendment passed in Congress and was ratified by the necessary states, these three states either rejected it or did not ratify it initially. However, Mississippi eventually ratified the amendment in 1995, and Kentucky formally ratified it in 1976, while Delaware remained the only state that never ratified it.
Never. In order for an amendment to be properly ratified, it must be ratified in its EXACT language, by 3/5 of all of the states. While it seems that enough states did ratify a variation of the amendment in some form or another, it was never ratified in its exact language by enough states. This did not, however, prevent it from being added to the Constitution, and becoming de facto "law". It was never properly ratified. There are various institutions offering enormous cash rewards to anybody who can prove otherwise, as of yet, no takers.
Never happened
The Seventh, but that particular Amendment is not binding on the states. A state could set up a system where you get no jury trial in a civil case. That is because the Seventh Amendment has never been incorporated within the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - in other words, the right to a jury in a civil case has never been held by the Supreme Court of the United States to be a right that is so fundamental as to be indispensable to the concept of ordered liberty. Other amendments that have not been incorporated (that is, compelling the states to enforce them) are the right to a grand jury (Fifth Amendment), and the right not to have troops quartered in your house (Third Amendment).
No, but it should be.Congressional cost of living adjustments (COLAs) have been upheld against legal challenges based on this amendment.
Equal Rights Amendment, an amendment to the U.S. Constitution proposed in the early 1970s but never ratified

2/3 of both houses The above is incorrect. For an amendment to become part of the Constitution it must be ratified by 3/4th's of the States. With 50 states, this means 38 states must ratify and accept the amendment--this can take years and some amendments have never been ratified. It does take 2/3rd's of both houses of Congress to pass an amendment before it goes to the states to be ratified.
Article V. Either Congress or the states (in constitutional convention) PROPOSE amendments, but only the states ratify. Once the states ratify, the Constitution IS changed - Congress has no role following ratification. The states never need Congress's permission to amend.
