Amendments to WHAT? Government documents or commercial business documents.
There are two ways to propose and ratify amendments to the Constitution. To propose amendments two thirds of both houses of congress can vote to propose an amendment, and two thirds of the state legislatures can ask congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.
The Judicial Branch cannot ratify amendments. That is the duty of the individual states.
One way an Amendment can be ratified is with a two-thirds vote from state legislatures. The second way is to have two-thirds vote from attendees at the National Convention at the request of the states.
The states ratify ammendaments. But only amendments that pertain or affect the state.

Amendments are considered apart of the theconstitution with the same enforcement value. I believe the constitution says amendments have the same "intents and purposes" as the rest of the constitution.Amendments can be passed in two ways: 1) Congress can propose an amendment to the states by a 2/3 majority vote in each house. Then if 3/4 of the states ratify it..it becomes an amendment.2) 2/3 of the states call a convention to propose amendments. If 3/4 of all the states ratify those proposals; they become amendments.
