Answer:

Constitution will not be amended.

Step-by-step explanation:

To amend the country's constitution, number of states should approve the amendment = [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] of 69

= [tex]\frac{7}{9}\times 69[/tex]

= 53.67

≈ 53 states

But the states who approved the amendment = 52

And 52 < 53

Therefore, constitution will not be amended.
