Question

select the correct answer.
how can congress initiate the formal constitutional amendment process?
a. through a two - thirds majority vote of each house
b. through a simple majority vote of each house
c. through a unanimous vote of each house
d. congress cannot initiate the constitutional amendment process

Explanation:

To determine how Congress initiates the constitutional amendment process, we refer to U.S. constitutional law. The process for Congress to propose an amendment requires a two - thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate (each house of Congress). Option A states "through a two - thirds majority vote of each house", which aligns with this constitutional requirement. Option B's simple majority is insufficient, Option C's unanimous vote is not the requirement, and Option D is incorrect as Congress can initiate the amendment process.

Answer:

A. through a two - thirds majority vote of each house
