Answer 1

Answer:
C – Congress can submit an amendment to the states for ratification if a majority of both houses support the amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:
According to Article V of the Constitution, there are four ways to amend the Constitution, but the most common way is for an amendment to be proposed in Congress and pass both houses with a 2/3 majority (not a simple majority). This requires 67 senators and 290 representatives. Then, the amendment is sent to the states, where 3/4 of the states (via their elected state legislatures) must agree to the amendment.
