first you need 2/3 proposal of both houses of congress (house of representatives and senate)

Then you need a passage or ratification of 3/4 of state legislatures.

Close. The amendment process has two steps, proposal and ratification. Official proposals can be made by 2/3 of Congress or 2/3 of state legislatures (so Congress can be involved). Ratification occurs with a 3/4 vote of the state legislatures or a 3/4 vote of state conventions made up of delegates (not necessarily legislators) elected by the people.

How is a constitutional amendment ratified and what is the process involved?

A constitutional amendment is ratified through a process that involves two steps. First, the amendment must be proposed, typically by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Once proposed, the amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states. This process ensures that the amendment has widespread support before becoming part of the Constitution.
