Explanation:
A convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, also called an Article V Convention or amendments convention. This convention is called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures and it is one of two processes authorized by Article Five of the United States Constitution whereby the United States Constitution may be altered. Amendments may also be proposed by the Congress with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
To become part of the Constitution, an amendment must be ratified by either the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, or state ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states.
Answer:
First, an amendment may be proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress and ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.
