The most common way to formally amend the Constitution is for Congress to propose new amendments, which requires a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Once proposed, the amendments must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures. This method has been used for all but one of the 27 amendments to the Constitution. The exception is the 21st Amendment, which was proposed by Congress and ratified by special state conventions.
