Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the United - States, the Constitution can be amended through a process where Congress proposes an amendment (by a two - thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate) and then three - fourths of the states must ratify (accept) it. This is the most common way. Another way is for a constitutional convention to be called by two - thirds of the state legislatures, but this has never been used for amending the Constitution. The options of proposal by the President and acceptance by the Vice - President, proposal by the states and acceptance by the President, and proposal by the Supreme Court and acceptance by Congress are incorrect as they do not match the actual amendment process.

Answer:

Proposal by Congress and acceptance by the states
