Who has the power to propose new amendments to the United States Constitution?

  1. President.

  2. Supreme Court.

  3. Congress.

  4. State governors.

The correct answer is: Congress.

Members of Congress have the power to propose new amendments to the United States Constitution through the amendment process outlined in Article V of the Constitution. The President and the Supreme Court, while influential branches of government, do not have the authority to propose amendments. Additionally, state governors do not have any role in the amendment process. Therefore, C is the only correct choice as Congress holds the power to initiate and propose new amendments to the Constitution.
