To propose a new amendment to the Constitution, the necessary step is to seek approval by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is stated in Article V of the United States Constitution. The correct answer is, therefore, "approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate."
To arrive at this answer, one would need to refer to the United States Constitution and specifically Article V, which outlines the process for proposing and ratifying amendments. Reading and understanding the language and requirements of Article V is crucial to answering this question correctly.
