Which article details how the Constitution may be amended?

• A. Article IV
• B. Article VI
• C. Article VII
• D. Article V

Answer: (D)

The main concept here is how constitutional amendments are proposed and ratified. Article V lays out two paths to propose amendments: either two-thirds of both houses of Congress approve a proposal, or two-thirds of the states call for a national convention to propose amendments. After proposal, three-fourths of the states must ratify the amendment, either through their legislatures or via state ratifying conventions. This framework ensures that changes to the Constitution require broad, deliberate consensus. Other articles cover different topics: Article IV addresses the relations among states and the federal government; Article VI includes the Supremacy Clause and debt obligations; Article VII explains how the Constitution would be ratified. Therefore, Article V is the one detailing how amendments may be made.
