According to Article V of the U.S Constitution, Congress can propose amendments to the Constitution by either a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by calling for a national convention when requested by two-thirds of the state legislatures.
B) Congress votes by two-thirds majority votes to propose an amendment: This process has also been used in the past. Congress can propose amendments by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
C) Three-fourths of the states' conventions ratify an amendment: This process has been used before, such as in the case of the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment (Prohibition).
D) Three-fourths of the states' legislatures ratify an amendment: This process, too, has been used in the past. Most amendments have been ratified by three-fourths of the states' legislatures.
Therefore, the option that has never been used as part of the ratification process in the U.S Constitution is C) three-fourths of the states' conventions ratify an amendment.
