Answer:

Constitution will not be amended.

Explanation:

To amend the country's constitution, number of states should approve the amendment =
(7)/(9) of 69

=
(7)/(9)* 69

= 53.67

≈ 53 states

But the states who approved the amendment = 52

And 52 < 53

Therefore, constitution will not be amended.
