The most recent amendment, the 27th (about Congressional pay raises), was ratified in 1992 — though it was first proposed in 1789. The amendment process requires two-thirds approval from both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures — a deliberately high bar ensuring amendments reflect genuine national consensus.
