Article V of the U.S. Constitution

Article V of the U.S. Constitution outlines the process for amending the Constitution. It allows changes to be made either through Congress or a constitutional convention, ensuring flexibility to adapt over time. An amendment can be proposed either by two-thirds of both House and Senate or by a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. To become official, proposed amendments must then be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or state conventions. This process balances the need for stability with the ability to update the Constitution as national circumstances evolve.
