Examining Proposed Constitutional Amendments

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Only the American people can revoke or alter the Constitution, which remains fixed until they do so by an explicit and authentic act.
2. States can pursue constitutional change even, and perhaps especially, when “Congress proved incapable of, or unwilling to, initiate amendments on its own.”
3. The Article V convention method of proposing constitutional amendments has yet to be employed directly, though it has pushed Congress to propose amendments.
