In the USA, the license is granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ...
just like every authorization to transmit radio, no matter for what purpose. In the case of
an amateur ("ham") license, the individual has to pass a test that covers topics in the rules
and regulations that relate to the Amateur Service, plus a few technical subjects.
There are enough magazines, books, tapes, sample tests, and publications of all kinds to
fill a small library, of materials designed to introduce you to Amateur Radio and help you
prepare for the test.
The best place to start is the website of the American Radio Relay League. It's been the
largest organization representing Amateur Radio for most of the 100 years that the hobby
has existed.
The link to the ARRL's website is in the "related links" attached to this answer.
Good luck.
