None of the above options accurately portray a step in the amendment process. Although ratification by state legislatures is involved, the options provided do not cover all the necessary steps. The correct steps in the amendment process in the United States are as follows:
1. Proposal: An amendment can be proposed either by Congress, with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or by a national convention called by Congress, at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures.
2. Ratification: The proposed amendment must then be ratified by either three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states, depending on the method chosen by Congress for proposal.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Ratified by 3/4 state legislatures or Ratified by 2/3 of the state legislatures.
