amendment by the necessary two-thirds
vote.
 Three-fourths of states did not approve the
taken measure until 1992.
 For many years, various states approved the
proposal.

the ratification standards unworkable.

congressional pay increases after the 1980s
revival of interest in measure.

 This meant that the three-fourths constitutional
amendment requirement had been met.

 During the first ratification Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia
and Delaware were the first states that took
part in the ratification of the amendment.

 The current American generation may be
wondering why it took about 200 years for the
amendment to be ratified after its proposal.
