proposed amendments must be ratified by blank of the state either through the state legislature or through special state conventions

The word amendment means correcting or modifying the original laws drafted in the US Constitution. Thousands of amendments are deliberated in the Senate.

The first method is when a recommended amendment is given the final consent only after two third of both the houses of Congress approve in favor of the proposed amendment.

Next, the proposed amendment is directed to the states where two third of the states' approval is sought.

The second method is establishing a convention by the legislatures of the states in which two third of the state legislatures' approval is required to amend the laws.
