Answer 4

They didn't. The US Supreme Court is not part of the formal constitutional amendment process.

Constitutional Amendments may be proposed by either the House of Representatives or the Senate, then must pass both houses of Congress by a two-thirds vote. If Congress votes to support an amendment, the proposal is passed to the states for ratification. If three-quarters (actually 39) of the states ratify (endorse) the amendment, then it is adopted and becomes law.

The US Supreme Court uses the Constitution as a tool to evaluate cases and challenged legislation to ensure they comply with constitutional principles. This is sometimes referred to as an "informal amendment process" because the meaning of the Constitution is open to interpretation that may change over time.
