Question

Which is the last step in amending the U.S. Constitution?

A The voters approve the amendment in a national election.

B The president signs the amendment in a public ceremony.

C Three-fourths of the state legislatures ratify the amendment.

D Two-thirds of both houses of Congress ratify the amendment.

Answer 1

C Three-fourths of the state legislatures ratify the amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two steps involved in amending a Constitution are proposal and ratification.

The two legislative houses would propose an amendment with a two-thirds vote and the amendment would be ratified when three-fourths of the states approve it through ratifying conventions.

Therefore, the last step in amending the U.S. Constitution is three-fourths of the state legislatures ratify the amendment
