The Constitution can be amended in two primary areas: through Congress or a constitutional convention. Congress can propose an amendment with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Alternatively, a constitutional convention can be called by two-thirds of state legislatures, where amendments can be proposed. Both methods require ratification by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions to become effective.
