The system for ratifying Amendments is detailed within the Constitution therefore, by extension, the original creators of the Constitution decide the system by which states ratify Amendments. You can find many examples of these "Founding Fathers" online.

How are new amendments ratified?

New amendments are ratified by the people as they are represented by their states. Three fourths of the states must ratify an amendment in order for it to take effect. No group or individual has any veto power over the ratification of an amendment by the states. Amendments can be initiated by the government, as have all the amendments ratified so far. Less known is the fact that the states themselves, according to the Constitution, can initiate amendments independent of government. In this case, the government's only involvement is to instruct the states whether they can ratify amendments through state legislatures, or by state conventions. There is no appeal when the states ratify an amendment. The only authority that can enact an amendment or repeal one is The People.

What are the amendments and how can they be added?

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.
