what is the proposel process for amendments to the U.S. Constitution?
441411
Either Congress can pass a bill, or States can call for a convention.  Congress's bill must be passed by a 2/3 majority in BOTH houses, and the President can't veto the bill.  2/3 of the states may also call for a constitutional convention to draft a proposal.

It has already been decided by the states.\nBack when country was founded, what few states there were ratified the Constitution and the first amendment.\n\nThe Constitution can be revised by an amendment, which is voted for by state Representatives, they represent their states.\n\nshould the bill have gone through the amendment to the Constitution would have to be ratified by the states themselves rather than Representatives.\n\nthere through representation the states or rather the people have spoken.\n\nThe supreme court does its job interpret if a law infringes on the Constitution, and flag burning laws do infringe.\n\n\nI know what your getting at by state by state but the matter is a constitutional first amendment question and laws passed on the state level will eventually reach the courts to be tested against the Constitution...sorry.\n\nThe state has a remedy in the courts, and its own legislative meaning why not legislate that all flags be made from fire proof materials.

The Constitution is organized into three parts: \n\nPreamble: Describes the purpose of the document and government. \nArticles: Establish how the government is structured and how the Constitution can be changed. There are seven articles. \nAmendments: Changes to the Constitution; the first ten are called the Bill of Rights.

Can you be specific about which part he violated? Please refer to the Article and Section, and explain what he did to violate it.\n\nIf you're referring to his favoring an amendment to ban gay marriage, the process for making amendments already exists in the Constitution.  He was proposing something go through the process, unlike some of the changes to the Constitution that have come out of USSC decisions dealing with "emanations" from "penumbras", and arguments about whether the Second Amendment really says what it says.

Bill of Rights\n\nThe two states that have not ratified the Constitution are holding out for a Bill of Rights to protect individual freedoms. While Madison does not think a Bill of Rights is essential, he nonetheless agrees, as a price of ratification, to propose a Bill of Rights.\n\nIn 1789, as a representative to the first Congress, Madison goes through the numerous state proposals selecting, deleting, refining, and combining, all in an effort to produce a bill that will secure passage of the Constitution, protect liberties and yet not weaken the new government. Twelve of his amendments are soon approved by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. The last two states ratify the Constitution. Ten of the amendments are ratified by 1791. We know them as the Bill of Rights.\n\nThe quick adoption of the Bill of Rights and its continued effectiveness more than 200 years later show that Madison has achieved his objectives. The 1992 approval of one of the original amendments - which requires that Congress wait until after its next election before realizing any pay raise it voted for itself - demonstrates the continued relevance of Madison's work.\n\nMadison, in the five-year period from 1786 to 1791, firmly attaches his name to three of the great documents of American history -the Constitution, the Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights.

I would form apolitical party whose intentions would be to bring a Constitutional Convention to the US\n\nThis would give the people the chance to correct the problems faced in our country and reinstate our freedoms.\n\nA re-writing of the Constitution is the best way that the American people have of ending the corruption(we could do away with lobbyist and special interest groups), and returning balance to the political system. The idea that one man in any country has as much power as the President is absurd\n                     "Power corrupts"\n\nIn my opinion we should have at least three figure heads acting as joint leaders, not only to check the power of the others but also because there are so many different ideas and perspectives in our country that there is no way that one man can encompass the whole spectrum, the American leadership should represent all of America not just the winning side.\n\nI also believe that we should place stricter regulations on the formation of laws, and that laws should be made out of absolute nessecity, not on a whim or because someone with money wants one, i also think that there should be no "pork" in any bill proposed for legislature (pork is when a bill is presented...lets say for education reform...but someone adds another section into the bill requesting...lets say amnesty for criminals...), one bill one subject.\n \nBut most importantly i believe we should hold a Constitutional Convention because it would give every person the opportunity to weigh in on the issues and we as Americans could again make some great achievements.......aside from destroying countries, and blowing shit up.........\n\nVOTE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!!!\n\nPeace to all...now more than ever...

There are 27 Amendments, and 26 changes.\n\nWhy? Because the 21st amendment repealed the 18th, so the 18th is no longer a change to the constitution, but it is still an amendment.

Ummmm....the US Constitution?

27 Amendments to the US Constitution.  List of the 27 with the link below.

The constitution specifically says, "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."\n\nThey clearly anticipated these amendments modifying the original document. In fact, many of the amendments have revised the original. Changing the election of Senators and Representatives to popular election, changing the way the number of representatives was calculated, changing the day Congress convenes, and allowing income tax are just a few of the major revisions to the original that have come about by the amendments.

to what?\n\nThe Constitution has 27 amendments,

Congress can amend, make changes, to the constitution by creating amendments that are added to it. Now take note that I said 'added' and 'amend'. \n\nThe reason is that Congress can NOT actually change the wording of the constitution... they can only ADD to it. \n\nThese amendments may be descriptions or clarifications of portions of the constitution that already exist but they are not alterations.
