Article V of the US Constitution outlines the process for amending or changing the laws in the Constitution. In particular, it states that two-thirds of both houses of Congress must agree upon any amendment before being sent to state legislatures for ratification. Once ratified by three-fourths of all state legislatures, an amendment takes effect and becomes part of the Constitution. This system provides a checks and balances approach to making changes in our legal framework while preserving the integrity and stability of our nation's founding document.
