1. Propose An Amendment
Either Congress or the States can propose an amendment ot the Constitution.
Regardless of how the amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by the States.
Only 33 amendments have received a two-thirds vote from both Houses of Congress. Of those, only 27 have been ratified by the States. Perhaps the most visible failure is the Equal Rights Amendment.
