The 1992 amendment passed because it was already in the works since 1792.
To get a new amendment started, one needs 67 Senators and 292 Representatives to agree on one. That is about as hard as herding cats.
Then majorities are needed in 38 state legislatures. That is as hard as teaching a herd of cats to do the latest TikTok dance craze.
Or to put it another way, unless both the Democratic and Republican parties agree on an issue at the national and the state level, no amendment will pass.
