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

  1. President.

  2. Supreme Court.

  3. Congress.

  4. State governors.

The correct answer is: Congress.

The United States Constitution grants the power to propose amendments solely to Congress, making option C the correct answer. Option A, the President, only has indirect influence over proposing amendments since they can suggest ideas to members of Congress. Option B, the Supreme Court, does not have the authority to amend the Constitution. Option D, state governors, also do not have the power to propose amendments as this is solely reserved for Congress.
