The high bar in the passage of amendments to the U.S. Constitution was deliberately put by the framers to check the excesses that could result from too much power exercised by the central government.

The Constitution framers recognized that they could not decree the type of person that could occupy governments in the future. To ensure that excessive governmental powers are limited, they introduced the need for state legislatures to ratify all amendments to the constitution with at least 3/4 or 38 of the 50 states.

Specifically, Article V requires Congress to propose an amendment by a two-thirds majority of the Senate and the House of Representatives votes.

Thereafter, such an amendment is to be ratified by the state legislatures. Three-fourths of the states are also empowered to amend the Constitution in special ratifying conventions.

Thus, the high bar in passing amendments ensures wider participation of states in government so that without the states' ratification, amendments cannot become laws.
