First two-thirds of both the House and Senate must approve the proposal of an amendment. Then the amendment is sent to the states. 3/4 of the states must ratify the amendment in order for it to take effect. The ratification is usually done by the state legislatures but sometimes by special conventions where the people choose delegates.
