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.
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.

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.
That is because an amendment by voter initiative is allowed, but a revision is not. A revision can only be made through a constitutional convention or by a ballot measure placed by the Legislature. A convention also requires action by the Legislature. This is pursuant to Article 18 of the California Constitution.
How is the California Constitution changed most easily? The people can approve a proposition with no further action.
