1. Upon the demand of three-quarters of any States, legally assembled in their several conventions, the Congress shall summon a convention of all the States, to take into consideration such amendments to the Constitution as the said States shall concur in suggesting at the time when the said demand is made; and should any of the proposed amendments to the Constitution be agreed on by the said convention--voting by States--and the same be ratified by the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, or by conventions in two-thirds thereof--as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the general convention--they shall thenceforward form a part of this Constitution. But no State shall, without its consent, be deprived of its equal representation in the Senate.
2. When a State ratifies, rejects, or changes its vote of a proposed Article of Amendment the State shall instruct their Senators to declare the decision on the floor of the Senate and the same shall be entered into their Journal.
3. A State may withdraw its ratification of an Article of Amendment before it becomes part of this Constitution and shall instruct their Senators to declare the decision on the floor of the Senate and the same shall be entered into their Journal.
