How can amendments be proposed?

  1. By a majority vote in each house

  2. By 3/5 of each house, initiative petition, constitutional convention

  3. By a unanimous vote in each house

  4. By the governor

The correct answer is: By 3/5 of each house, initiative petition, constitutional convention

This is because amendments can be proposed either by a 3/5 vote in each house of Congress, by an initiative petition, or by a constitutional convention called for by 2/3 of the states. Option A is incorrect because a majority vote is not enough to propose amendments. Option C is incorrect because a unanimous vote is not required and would be nearly impossible to achieve. Option D is incorrect because the governor does not have the power to propose amendments.
