Answer: c. Individuals can influence decisions on the ratification of constitutional amendments.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was no scenario included however this should be the answer. The most popular way for an amendment to the Constitution to be ratified is by two-third of both chambers of Congress proposing an amendment which then has to be ratified by either three-fourths of state conventions or state legislatures.

In the spirit of American democracy, the State Government should act according to the will of the people which means that individuals will be able to influence decisions on the ratification of amendments.

Indeed the Twenty-first amendments proves the influence that individuals have. This Amendment was passed by State convention where delegates from states were chosen to represent the people. The delegates were only chosen based on whether they would vote yes or no to the amendment.
