Question

why have there been relatively few constitutional amendments? choose 1 answer: a once a constitution amendment bill is proposed there is 6 months time limit for approval b they must be approved by both the supreme court and the president c a constitution amendment bill requires more than a simple majority to be ratified d they must be voted on as a referendum in three - fourths state legislatures

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because there is no 6-month time limit for approval of a U.S. constitutional amendment. Option B is wrong as the Supreme Court does not approve constitutional amendments, and the President's signature is not required. Option D is incorrect because amendments are not ratified via referendum in state legislatures; they are approved by state legislative votes (or state conventions for some cases), not referendums. Option C is correct because constitutional amendments need a supermajority (two-thirds vote in Congress to propose, then three-fourths of states to ratify) rather than just a simple majority, creating a high bar that limits the number of amendments.

Answer:

C. A Constitution Amendment Bill requires more than a simple majority to be ratified
