Answer 4

Methods of Formal Amendment Article V sets out two methods for the proposal and two methods for the ratification of amendments. So, there are four possible methods of formal amendment—changes or additions that become part of the written language of the Constitution itself.
First, an amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress and ratified by three fourths of the State legislatures. Today, at least 38 State legislatures must approve an amendment to make it a part of the Constitution. Of the Constitution's 27 amendments, 26 were adopted in this manner.

Second, an amendment may be proposed by Congress and ratified by conventions, called for that purpose, in three fourths of the States. Only the 21st Amendment (1933) was adopted in this way.

When Congress proposes an amendment, it chooses the method of ratification. State conventions were used to ratify the 21st Amendment, largely because the lawmakers felt that the conventions’ popularly elected delegates would be more likely to reflect public opinion on the question of the repeal of nationwide prohibition than would State legislators.

Third, an amendment may be proposed by a national convention, called by Congress at the request of two thirds of the State legislatures—today, 34. It must then be ratified by three fourths of the State legislatures. To this point, Congress has not called such a convention.

And fourth, an amendment may be proposed by a national convention and then ratified by conventions in three fourths of the States. Remember, the Constitution itself was adopted in much this same way. This is what the passage says
