Homework #11
Congress needs to amend the Constitution because, as the country grows and progresses, the needs of the citizens will change as well. Over time, new problems or situations will arise that will require the law to change in order to maintain order. The amendment procress was created in order to provide a way to allow that to happen. The amendment process usually begins when a bill is proposed and apporved by two-thirds of the House of Representatives and Congress. If the amendment is approved by the Congress, then it moves to the state legislatures. Thre-fourths of the state legislatures must approve the amendment in order for it to become a law.

Great job but you instead of stating House of Representatives and congress just say House and senate. Also speak about the convention process, i will ask this question on a test and you need to be specific.
