1. The founders also specified a process by which the Constitution may be amended, and since its ratification, the Constitution has been amended 27 times. In order to prevent arbitrary changes, the process for making amendments is quite onerous. 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.

In modern times, amendments have traditionally specified a time frame in which this must be accomplished, usually a period of several vears. Additionally, the Constitution specifies that no amendment can deny a State equal representation in the Senate without that State's consent.
