This excerpt describes the process by which amendments to the constitution can be proposed and ratified. It states that if 2/3 of the House of Congress deems it necessary, they can propose amendments. Alternatively, if 2/3 of the state legislatures call for a convention, amendments can also be proposed. In both cases, the proposed amendments are valid when ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures or by conventions in 3/4 of the states. The process of proposing and ratifying amendments can be modified by Congress.
