the constitutional amendment process in the united states is a two-step process. the first step is a proposal of an amendment to the constitution by two-thirds of both houses of congress or by two-thirds of the state legislatures. the second step is ratification of the amendment by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions in three-fourths of the states. once an amendment is proposed and ratified, it becomes part of the us constitution and is legally binding for all us citizens.
