"In 1898, the Constitution was amended, changing the standards for approving a constitutional amendment. Since that point, a constitutional amendment must be approved by a simple majority of both chambers of the legislature at one session, and then ratified by a majority of voters in an election.

There are three ways in which the Constitution can be amended: Amendment by simple majority of the Parliament. Amendment by special majority of the Parliament. Amendment by special majority of the Parliament and the ratification of at least half of the state legislatures.

An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
