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).
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 Con â¦ gress at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures.Ratification of an amendment takes three-fourths of the states to approve.ither Congress by a 2/3 vote or 2/3 of the state legislatures can call for such a convention to be held. This method has never been tried. In either case, a proposed amendment does not become law until 3/4 of the states ratify it. The amendment process is given in Article V of the Constitution.
