This is the type of question where you know it or you don't
There are actually 3 ways of amending the Constitution, but only one way is mainly used

"The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures."
