Answer:

In order to propose and Amendment, you must have 2/3rds of Congress or 2/3rd of the states, to ratify the amendments, 3/4ths of states must approve, and they can approve in one or two ways, at a convention, or in their state legislatures. It's difficult to Amend the Constitution, as I said, 33 have been proposed but only 27 have been ratified.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amendment process is intentionally difficult due to the fear of leaders becoming overpowered with the power to create laws.

Congress has considered thousands of amendments, but passed only 33 and only 27 of those 33 have been ratified. There is no time limit for states to ratify a proposed amendment, the 27th Amendment was ratified after 203 years, so it really stuck around. There is a "reasonable time" now, meaning the usual time frame for ratifying an Amendment is now seven years
