Answer:

3/4 of the states in the United States (Currently 38)

Step-by-step explanation:

To change the Constitution 2/3 of Congress has to pass the amendment and 3/4 of the states will ratify it. Example, only 9 states in 1789 had to ratify an amendment but now we need 38 to ratify,

A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).
