Article V of the Constitution provides two methods to propose amendments and two methods for ratification. Constitutional amendment proposals in method one are by joint resolution of the Congress with a 2/3 vote in each house. (This is the only method that has been used.) Method two is by way of petitions to Congress by 2/3 of the states to conduct a convention for proposing amendments, and then holding such a convention. (An Article V convention has never been held).
Amendments proposed by either the congressional method or the convention method are then submitted to the states for ratification. There are two possible methods here as well. Ratification can be done by way of the votes of the state legislatures or by specially elected delegates to state ratification conventions. In either case, ratification requires the votes of 3/4 of the states. The convention method was used in the case of the 21st Amendment (repeal of prohibition).

The United Kingdom has an uncodified and unwritten constitution; strictly speaking, no law can be regarded as unconstitutional.

This effectively means that if a law is passed, it is automatically considered constitutional, even if it goes against what was previously regarded as constitutional law. As such, the UK constitution is arguably the most heavily amended in the world.
