State
An amendment to the Constitution is proposed by a two-thirds vote of both chambers of Congress or by a convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures.
Show
All twenty-seven existing amendments were proposed by Congress; the convention route stands unused.
Watch for
Proposal is step one — nothing is law until ratification.
