Answer 10

wow okay good now for step 4

Answer 11

Write an amendment to be proposed by Congress. Amendments have usually been written by legislators. Ideas for amendments are also initiated by social movements and interest groups.


Secure two-thirds majority support for the amendment. One of the two methods for amending the Constitution is for Congress to propose an amendment. In order for an amendment to be proposed, it must have two-thirds majority support from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is also known as a “supermajority.”


Introduce a joint resolution to propose the amendment. Once you have secured your support, you need to propose the amendment to the entire Congress. Either the House of Representatives or the Senate can initiate a joint resolution.

Debate the resolution. Joint resolutions are usually debated by the full membership of each house after receiving committee approval.


Pass a joint resolution in Congress. Congress can propose an amendment to the Constitution by passing a joint resolution. Two thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate must approve the resolution

Draft and approve the amendment in the convention. Once the convention has debated the amendment and arrived at consensus, the convention will draft and approve the amendment.

Answer 27

the amendment process is very difficult and time consuming: A proposed amendment must be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.
If the Constitution could be changed easy, it would have little value. For anyone would change it at any given time. Also, a corrupt President, or powerful political party could use amendments to play to their political agendas. In order to solve these issues, our Founding Fathers made the amendment process difficult to maintain the Constitution's value and keep corrupt/powerful groups from using it to support their own ideals.
