Answer 1

The correct answer is C) it will not pass because most proposed amendments do not pass.

Based on amendments 11 to 27, it won't become an amendment because it will not pass because most proposed amendments do not pass.

It is very hard to pass an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The US Constitution states that an amendment can be proposed by the Congress or by a Constitutional convention called for two-thirds of the states legislatures. But the last option has never been used. Just the first one, when two-thirds of the Congress has a majority vote. This means in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. And an amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states, this means, 38 of the 50 states. Then, an amendment becomes part of the Constitution.
