The constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the house of representatives and the senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures

Answer:

First, the proposal by congress (by two-thirds votes of both houses) or proposal from a convention called by two-thirds of the states is passed. The proposal is then sent to the state legislatures.
