Amendment proposals may be adopted and sent to the states for ratification by either |
All thirty three amendment proposals that have been sent to the states for ratification since the establishment of the Constitution have come into being via the Congress State legislatures have however at various times used their power to apply for a national convention in order to pressure Congress into proposing a desired amendment For example the movement to amend the Constitution to provide for the direct election of senators began to see such proposals regularly pass the House of Representatives only to die in the Senate from the early 1890s onward As time went by more and more state legislatures adopted resolutions demanding that a convention be called thus pressuring the Senate to finally relent and approve what later became the Seventeenth Amendment for fear that such a convention if permitted to assemble might stray to include issues above and beyond just the direct election of senators |

Since the turn of the 20th century amendment proposals sent to the states for ratification have generally contained a seven year ratification deadline either in the body of the amendment or in the resolving clause of the joint resolution proposing it The Constitution does not expressly provide for a deadline on the state legislatures or state ratifying conventions consideration of proposed amendments In Dillon v Gloss 1921 the Supreme Court affirmed that Congress if it so desires could provide a deadline for ratification An amendment with an attached deadline that is not ratified by the required number of states within the set time period is considered inoperative and rendered moot |

With the convention method the legislature can put on any ballot the question of whether to call a constitutional convention It must be stated whether the convention is limited or unlimited that is whether it can only amend the current constitution or totally abolish it and write a new one If limited the call must state which provisions of the current constitution are to be subject to amendment and the subsequent convention if approved is limited to considering only amendments to the provisions specified in the call The proposed amendments must then be submitted to the electorate and approved by a majority of those voting in the election A constitutional convention can not be held more frequently than once every six years |

It firstly requires that the proposal pass by absolute majority in the House of Representatives This means that out of the 150 members of the House at least 76 of them must agree to the proposal |
If this succeeds then the proposal is moved to the Senate where it again must achieve an absolute majority This means that of the 76 members of the Senate at least 39 of them must agree to the proposal |
Following this Australians then vote on the proposal For a referendum to succeed both of the following must be achieved |
The double majority is a major factor in why since 1906 out of 44 referendums only 8 have been successful |

Once an Act is passed by the National Assembly and by the NCOP if necessary it must be signed and assented to by the President As with any other Act of Parliament by default an amendment comes into effect when it is published in the Government Gazette but the text of the amendment may specify some other date of commencement or allow the President to specify one by notice in the Gazette |
Some constitutions use entrenched clauses to restrict the kind of amendment to which they may be subject This is usually to protect characteristics of the state considered sacrosanct such as the democratic form of government or the protection of human rights Amendments are often totally forbidden during a state of emergency or martial law |
