It depends on the document.
Amendments are ratified according to the rules set forth in the document being amended, or in statutes or regulations, depending upon what it is you are trying to amend. Amendments to a contract are ratified by mutual consent. Amendments to corporate bylaws are amended by the necessary percent of votes of the necessary quorum at a meeting called for the purpose of making the amendment.
Amendments to the US Constitution are proposed and ratified according to the process listed in Article 5 of the Constitution, typically passage of the amendment by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress, followed by ratification by state legislatures in at least 3/4 of the individual states.
Typically, amendments passed by the legislature (or a convention) are voted on by the state's voters in a regular or special election.
In some cases, amendments that affect only one region or city must also be approved by that area's voters, but this is a special case for the usual practice of statewide approval.
An amendment, in order to become part of the Constitution, must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
There are two "Mode(s) of Ratification" in Article V of the US Constitution. One is ratification by the legislatures of three-fourths of all the states. The second is ratification by special Conventions (called for the purpose of ratifying the proposed amendment) of three-fourths of all the states.
Amendments can be proposed for ratification in two different ways. One is where two-thirds of both Houses of Congress propose a specific amendment. The second is where two thirds of the legislatures apply to Congress to call a Convention for the purpose of proposing amendments. This second method of proposing amendments for ratification has never been used.
In the first method, Congress decides on the wording of the proposed amendment. In the second, the Convention decides on the wording of the proposed amendment. The Convention may propose as many amendments as it deems appropriate.
Congress decides whether states can ratify via their state legislatures or through special state conventions. The first method is used unless the second is required by the wording of the amendment.
The amendment process is found in article 5 of the Constitution ( see the related link)
