The U.S. Constitution is difficult to change and has only been amended 27 times. State constitutions, on the other hand, are much easier to modify, and state constitutional amendments are adopted on a regular basis. The current constitutions of the 50 states have been amended around 7,000 times.
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.
Under Article V of the Constitution, there are two ways to propose and ratify amendments to the Constitution. To propose amendments, two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote to propose an amendment, or two-thirds of the state legislatures can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.
