The Amendment process is the formal way to change pieces of the Constitution to better suit the nation's rights. According to Article V, two-thirds of Congress must deem it necessary in order to propose an amendment. To ratify the amendment, three-fourths of the states must approve.
Ratify is what is necessary to change or make a new amendment to the constitution. If 2/3rds of the states vote to accept the amendment, the amendment passes and is changed or added to the constitutional amendments.
