eeeeeeeeeee is true
eeeeeeeeeee is correct
To determine which statement about the amending process is true, we'll evaluate each option:
a. It needs unanimous consent from the states: This statement is not true. The amending process does not require unanimous consent from the states. However, the approval of three-fourths of the states is necessary for any proposed amendment to be ratified.
b. It is a decision made by a majority of the Senators: This statement is also not true. Although the Senate plays a role in the amending process, the decision to amend the Constitution is not solely made by a majority of Senators. It requires a more extensive process involving both houses of Congress and the states.
c. It is necessary to call for a new Constitutional Convention: This statement is not entirely accurate either. While calling for a new Constitutional Convention is one method of proposing amendments, it is not the only way. Most amendments have been proposed through a different method, which involves the proposal being passed by a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
d. Both the national government and states are involved: This statement is true. The amending process requires involvement from both the national government and the states. The proposal for an amendment must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress, and then it must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
Therefore, the correct option is d. Both the national government and states are involved.
