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.

proposal and ratification
The two steps of the amendment process that have been used to create amendments to the U.S. Constitution are proposal and ratification. An amendment can be proposed either by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress or by a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. 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 both federal and state approval for constitutional changes.
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.
It is the FORMAL AMENDMENT PROCESS for A+ :)
An amendment can be repealed in the United States through a process that involves proposing and ratifying a new amendment that specifically repeals the existing one. This process follows the same steps as amending the Constitution, requiring approval by two-thirds of both houses of Congress or a national convention, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states.

The Bill of Rights was created using a formal amendment process. An informal amendment process doesn't result in actual changes to the Constitution, only to the way the Constitution is interpreted.
