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.

Congress has the power to propose new amendments to the United States Constitution. The President and Supreme Court do not have this power because it is solely reserved for the legislative branch of government. State governors also do not have this power as it is not within their duties as specified in the Constitution. Therefore, C is the most accurate choice.
