Which of the following is the amendment process designed to do? A. Force Congress and the states to work together.
B. Allow Congress and the states to work separately.
C. Force Congress and the states to recognize people’s rights.
D. Encourage Congress and the states to respect legal records.
The correct answer is A. Force Congress and the states to work together.
The amendment process, as outlined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution, requires cooperation between Congress and the states. For an amendment to be proposed, it must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then it must be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in the states. This process is designed to ensure that significant changes to the Constitution reflect a consensus between federal and state governments.
