Amendments are considered apart of the theconstitution with the same enforcement value. I believe the constitution says amendments have the same "intents and purposes" as the rest of the constitution.Amendments can be passed in two ways: 1) Congress can propose an amendment to the states by a 2/3 majority vote in each house. Then if 3/4 of the states ratify it..it becomes an amendment.2) 2/3 of the states call a convention to propose amendments. If 3/4 of all the states ratify those proposals; they become amendments.
The Amendment process is the formal way to change the Constitution. An amendment may be proposed by two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a convention called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures. Ratification of an amendment takes three-fourths of the states to approve.
The Corwin Amendment was passed by Congress, however it was only ratified by three states. Since it was passed for ratification without a time limit, if 35 more states were to ratify it, the Amendment could still become law. That's unlikely, however.The amendment (passed by a lame duck Congress in 1861) would have prohibited non-slave states from proposing amendments to eliminate slavery, which in effect the 13th Amendment did. The application of the amendment ex post facto would present legal questions that would likely prove unsolvable.

3/4 of the legislatures of each state or ratifying conventions of each state, as Congress so directs, is needed to approve an amendment to the US Constitution.
No. To change the amendment would take another amendment to the Constitution. The Congress would have to introduce and pass the amendment, then three fourths of the States would have to accept the amendment before it would become ratified.
For a bill to become a law, it must first be passed by both houses of congress, and then signed by the president (the procedure is different in other countries, but let's discuss how it's done in the USA). But for an amendment to be added to the constitution, there is one extra (and very difficult) step. After the proposed amendment passes both houses of congress, it must then be ratified by 3/4 of the states. If this does not occur, it dies and does not become an amendment. For example, the Equal Rights Amendment was passed by congress, but it did not gain approval of 3/4 of the states, so it never became a law.
For a constitutional amendment to become law, it must be approved by a two-thirds majority vote in both the Congress and the states. This means that 2/3 of the members in both houses of Congress and 2/3 of the state legislatures must vote in favor of the amendment.
two-thirds in the Senate, two-thirds in the House of Representatives, three-fourths of the states
It is not a new law that Congress can propose that takes the ratification of three-fourth's of the states. It is the proposal of a constitutional amendment. If two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose a particular constitutional amendment, at least three-fourths of the legislatures of the fifty states must vote to ratify the proposed amendment before it can become law. The proposal can be made by national convention also. See Sources and related links for more information.
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is not currently part of the U.S. Constitution. It aimed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex and was first proposed in 1923. Despite passing Congress in 1972, it failed to be ratified by enough states to become a constitutional amendment.
The number of senators per state is a provision of the US constitution and it therefore can only be changed by a constitutional amendment. Congress would be able to propose such an amendment, if it wished to do so, but the amendment would have to be ratified by the state legislatures before it would become part of the constitution.
According to the U.S. Constitution 3/4 of the various states have to ratify a constitutional amendment proposed to them before it can become permanent part of the Constitution. For an amendment to Acts by Congress, 3/5 of the Senate and 1/2 of the House must agree. The Titles of Nobility amendment did not become the 13th amendment because it was 2 states short. It could still become part of the constitution but it would require the remainer of 38 states to ratify it if it would be enactected now.
it was originally ratified by congress, but it was proposed by James Madison in1789 and finally ratified in 1992. more then 202 yrs later
