See the Ratification Convention Page for a discussion of the make up of a convention. Amendments are sent to the legislatures of the states by default. Only one amendment, the 21st, specified a convention. In any case, passage by the legislature or convention is by simple majority. The Constitution, then, spells out four paths for an amendment: 1  Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state conventions (never used). 2  Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state legislatures (never used).
Amendment Process. The Amendment process is a process in which a proposed Amendment is brought to the floor of Congress. The Senate and the House of Representatives are allowed to entertain this proposal and vote on it. This requires a specific majority. Once a majority vote is obtained in both Houses, the process moves to the states.
