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.
What this means: The amendment may be proposed in either the Senate or Assembly. The Amendment must be passed, by majority vote, in both legislative houses (Senate and Assembly). If such majority vote in both houses is secured, the amendment is then put before the next duly elected legislature for consideration.
