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).
State ratifying conventions are one of the two methods established by Article V of the United States Constitution for ratifying proposed constitutional amendments.Ratifying conventions have only been used on one occasion, that being for the ratification of the Constitution's 21st Amendment in the year 1933.s is true for a state legislature when ratifying a proposed federal constitutional amendment, a state ratifying convention may not in any way change a proposed constitutional amendment, but must accept or reject the proposed amendment as written.
