Answer 1

Answer:

C. Both houses of congress must pass a resolution to propose an amendment.

Explanation:

Article V of the Constitution indicates the way an amendment can form part of the Constitution. Even though there have always been two methods to do it, only one has been in use. The most common way, consists of the ratification of the amendment after 2/3 of the House and the Senate have agreed and passed it on to the states for voting. After this, 3/4 of the states must approve the amendment in question.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Both houses of congress must pass a resolution to propose an amendment

Explanation:

Article V of the U.S. Constitution provides two ways in which the U.S. Constitution can be amendment: the first one enables Congress to start the process, while the second enables state legislatures to start it. For Congress to start the process, both houses must pass a resolution to propose an amendment with at least two-thirds of votes in favor each. If the proposal reaches that majority of votes, then it has to be voted on by the state legislatures or by the state conventions. Lastly, only if the amendment is approved by at least three-fourths of the state legislatures or the state convention, it becomes a law.
