Chapter 2 The Constitution - Study Questions (w/Answers) Provide answers to the following questions. What is the process for amending the Constitution, and why does it look that way? The process for amending the Constitution is in two parts. The first part is proposing an amendment. Proposals are by two-thirds of the members in both houses voting, or by two-thirds of the state legislatures asking Congress for a convention to propose amendments. Through the ratification process, it must occur in three-fourths of the state legislatures or a favorable vote in three-fourths of the states. The process looks this way because the Framers did not want the government to be too influenced by the people. Thus this became the formal method.
