It is very hard to pass an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The US Constitution states that an amendment can be proposed by the Congress or by a Constitutional convention called for two-thirds of the states legislatures. But the last option has never been used. Just the first one, when two-thirds of the Congress has a majority vote. This means in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. And an amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states, this means, 38 of the 50 states. Then, an amendment becomes part of the Constitution.

your answer will most likely be a.
