True or False? When an amendment is ratified by two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of state legislatures, it becomes part of the federal Constitution, and all states—even those that did not ratify the amendment—must follow the laws in the new amendment.
Amendments proposed by Congress or convention become valid only when ratified by the legislatures of, or conventions in, three-fourths of the states (i.e., 38 of 50 states).
