Question

The two ways in which an amendment to the Constitution can be proposed is by the Congress proposing an amendment by a two-thirds vote in both houses. The second way is the legislatures of two-thirds of the states - 34 out of 50 - can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose an amendment.

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. The two ways in which an amendment to the United States Constitution can be proposed are:

1. Congress proposing an amendment by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This is the most common method used to propose amendments.

2. The legislatures of two-thirds of the states (34 out of 50) can request Congress to call a national convention for proposing amendments. This method has never been used to date, as all 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by Congress.
