Why would congress amend the US Constitution? How do you Amend the Constitution?

The reason why the congress o=would amend the constitution is to created ne laws with the amendments.

to amend the constitution there are two ways one is for a bill to pass both houses of the legislature and atkeast 2/3 majority in each. After the bill has passed both houses, it goes to the states.

the other way is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by at least 2/3 of the legislatures of the States, and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. the amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by atleast 3/4 of the legislatures or conventions.
