1. Article Five is all about the process for passing an Amendment to the Constitution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution#Article_Five:_Process_of_amendments "Article Five of the United States Constitution describes the process whereby the Constitution may be altered. Such amendments may be proposed by the United States Congress or by a national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the several states. To become valid, amendments must then be ratified by either the legislatures of or ratifying conventions held in three-fourths of the several states, and may not deny a state equal representation in the Senate without its consent. However, an amendment that removes this entrenchment clause from the amendment process may enable a subsequent amendment to deny a state its equal representation in the Senate without its consent."
