Answer

Brief Explanations:

According to the United States Constitution, there are two ways to propose an amendment. One is that a two - thirds majority of both houses of Congress (the Senate and the House of Representatives) can propose an amendment. Another way is through a national convention called by Congress at the request of two - thirds of the state legislatures. Among the given options, option A (a simple majority of Congress is incorrect as it requires a two - thirds majority). The President (option B) and the Supreme Court (option C) do not have the power to propose constitutional amendments. Option D is also incorrect as it is about ratification (in some cases, an amendment can be ratified by a convention in three - fourths of the states, but the two - thirds majority of Congress is about proposal).

Answer:

None of the options A, B, C, D are correct. The correct entity is a two - thirds majority of both houses of Congress. But if we assume there is a mis - label and the intended correct option is based on the Congress proposal (even with wrong majority description in option A), there is an error in the options. However, if we strictly follow the Constitution, the power to propose (one of the ways) lies with Congress (with a two - thirds majority).
