To determine which of the following statements about the amendment process is true, let's examine each option:
A) It needs unanimous consent from the states.
The amendment process does not require unanimous consent from the states. The typical process is for an amendment to be proposed by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures. It then needs to be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
B) It is a decision made by a majority of senators.
While senators play a role in the amendment process, it is not solely their decision. The amendment process involves both houses of Congress, as well as the states, which is outlined in Article V of the United States Constitution.
C) It is necessary to call a new Constitutional convention.
The amendment process does not require calling a new Constitutional convention for each amendment. The most common method of proposing amendments is through the two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress.
D) Both the national government and states are involved.
This statement is true. The amendment process requires involvement from both the national government and the states. Initially, an amendment is proposed at the national level by either Congress or a Constitutional convention. After that, the proposed amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
Therefore, the correct statement about the amendment process is D) Both the national government and states are involved.
