 Section 6: The Amendment Process Information 

Some text here about the topic of discussion

 Thomas Jefferson believed that “the earth belongs to the living and not to the dead.” When drafting the Constitution, the framers kept this belief in mind because they knew that the Constitution would need to be changed over time to include new ideas from each new generation. At the same time, they wanted the Constitution to provide a lasting and stable framework for the government, so they made changing the Constitution possible but difficult. ​

 Section 6: The Amendment Process Information ​

​ After an amendment is proposed, it must be ratified before it can become part of the Constitution. The Constitution gives two ways of ratifying an amendment. It may be approved by the legislatures in at least three-fourths of the states, or it may be ratified by special conventions in at least three-fourths of the states. Once an amendment has been approved, it becomes part of the Constitution.
