Answer 1

I think the answer would be B and C, though I'm not sure

Answer 2

b. Two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states must approve of an amendment federally while in Florida amendments are proposed through election ballots and ratified by the people.

Step-by-step explanation:

A constitutional amendment is an improvement, correction or revision of the original content of the document that is in use. Since 1789, the Constitution of the United States of America has been amended twenty-seven times and these amendments were ratified after two-thirds of the congress approve the proposal and sent it to the states. Three-fourths of the states is what is needed to affirm the amendment that has been proposed.

In Florida, amendments are proposed through election ballots and ratified by the people. This can be effected when there is a call by the simple majority approval of a voter initiative asking for a convention.
