Comment on How would you rate your country's constitution?
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 22 hours agoOh I see, 2/3 isn’t that bad. I was under the impression it required 3/4 of all states – but that’s the alternate method, right?

Ok, to be additionally specific…it takes 2/3rds in bother the House and Senate or it takes a Constitutional convention, where 2/3rds of the state legislatures are needed to propose an amendment, and 3/4 of them need to ratify it. So, you are correct on the 3/4, if they go the convention route. I was really only thinking about Congress when I wrote that.

I goess that does leave the congressional route far more viable. Idk when the convention route would ever be easoer
