Every Amendment to the U. S. Constitution to date has been proposed by the method of two thirds of each house of Congress approving the proposal before it goes to the states for ratification. Also, two-thirds of the states can hold conventions to propose amendments

The most common method to add an amendment to the U.S. Constitution is through a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, followed by ratification from three-fourths of the state legislatures. The least used method involves a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures, where an amendment can be proposed and then sent to the states for ratification. This method has never been successfully used to amend the Constitution.
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 This alternate method has only been used one time, for the ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment which repealed Prohibition.
