Which part of the Constitution outlines the process for amending it?

WRONG! Article I of the U.S. Constitution establishes the legislative branch of the federal government. It outlines the powers and responsibilities of the Congress, which is a bicameral body consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. This article defines the scope and limitations of Congress’s authority, including its ability to make laws, levy taxes, and regulate commerce.

CORRECT! Article V of the U.S. Constitution outlines the process for amending the Constitution. It provides two methods for proposing amendments: by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress or through a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. Ratification can then occur either by the approval of three-fourths of state legislatures or through conventions in three-fourths of the states.

WRONG!

Article III establishes the judicial branch of the federal government. It outlines the powers and jurisdiction of the federal courts, including the Supreme Court. This article defines the types of cases that federal courts can hear, the authority of judges, and the guarantee of a lifetime appointment with good behavior. It is a crucial part of the Constitution that ensures an independent judiciary.

WRONG! Article II of the United States Constitution outlines the powers and responsibilities of the executive branch of the federal government. This branch is headed by the President of the United States.
