If I'm not mistaken, A 3/4 majority vote in both houses of congress is necessary to make an amendment to the US constitution.
Yes, Robert's Rules of Order stipulate that certain actions require a three-quarter vote for approval. This typically applies to significant decisions, such as amending bylaws or suspending the rules. The three-quarter vote ensures that a substantial majority supports these important changes, reflecting a higher level of consensus among the members.
Fractions are very useful in measuring. Example. I buy enough weed killer for 1000 sq. ft. of lawn because the store was out of the bottle for 500 sq. ft. SO...... I only need 1/2 (half) the bottle because I only have 1/2 the yard . Another example. Polls indicate two out of three people in the US will vote for John McCain for president. There are 3 million registered voters. How many votes will he get? And, if 2 out of three will vote for him, how many will Obama get? If 2 out of 3 ....(2/3)... vote for McCain, and there are 3 million voters, 2/3 or 2 million will vote for McCain, leaving one out of three (1/3) for Obama, which is one million.
If you are under 18 you cannot vote.
This is my example: We will follow those procedures.
Amending the Constitution
Yes, to override a veto that is needed.
By a vote of two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states
By a vote of two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states
Yes, an amendment to the U.S. Constitution can be ratified if three-fourths of the state legislatures vote in favor of it. This means that out of the 50 states, at least 38 must approve the amendment. Alternatively, an amendment can also be ratified by conventions in three-fourths of the states, but this method has never been used.

3/4 of all states' approval needed to ammend the constitution
If I'm not mistaken, A 3/4 majority vote in both houses of congress is necessary to make an amendment to the US constitution.
The process you are referring to is the ratification of a constitutional amendment, not a regular law. According to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, if Congress proposes a constitutional amendment, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states in order to become law. This is a higher threshold than the usual process for passing laws, which only requires a simple majority in both houses of Congress.
