FAQ
Scholars have tried for years to quantify the relative difficulty of amending national constitutions. The leading, though outdated, study of amendment difficulty pointed to an enduring truth about the United States Constitution: it is one of the world's most difficult to amend.
The amendment process is very difficult and time consuming: A proposed amendment must be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
To propose a change in the state constitution, the Senate and the House of Representatives must approve a joint resolution containing the language of the proposed change in two different years. The state constitution requires a general election to occur between the times that the joint resolution is approved.
Therefore, the Constitution can be amended in three ways: Amendment by a simple majority of the Parliament, Amendment by a special majority of the Parliament, and. Amendment by a special majority of the Parliament and the ratification of half of the State Legislatures.
The amendment process is very difficult and time consuming: A proposed amendment must be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.
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.
Any existing constitutional amendment can be repealed but only by the ratification of another amendment. Because repealing amendments must be proposed and ratified by one of the same two methods of regular amendments, they are very rare.
How is a change in the state constitution proposed and adopted? Only the citizens of Indiana who are registered to vote can change the state constitution by approving an amendment proposed by the General Assembly.
