I said “It takes a minimum of 2/3s of Congress or 2/3s of the state legislatures to call for amendments to the Constitution.”

You said “Read Article 5 of the Federal Constitution, the other method is 2/3rds of the state legislators calling for a convention.”

That is not only correct but I said EXACTLY that in the quote from me you quoted.

And your comment about change by a minority is still incorrect.

Forgive the oversight of your quote, I miss-read what you wrote. Perhaps because I presumed you knew that the smallest 3/4ths of the States contain combined only a minority of the the combined population of the 50 states.
