The part of the ratification process in the U.S. Constitution that has never been used is: Congress calls for a national constitutional convention.
To arrive at this answer, it is crucial to have a basic understanding of the ratification process outlined in the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution provides two methods for proposing amendments:
1. Congress votes by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
2. Congress calls for a national constitutional convention upon the request of two-thirds (34) of the state legislatures.
After an amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by the states to become part of the Constitution. The Constitution outlines two methods for ratification:
1. Three-fourths (38) of state legislatures can ratify the amendment.
2. Alternatively, three-fourths (38) of state conventions can be called to ratify the amendment.
With this information, we can determine that all three methods of ratification have been used except for Congress calling for a national constitutional convention. This option has never been exercised since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
