To pass an amendment in the United States, it requires a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress. There are 100 senators in total, so at least 67 senators would need to vote in favor of the amendment for it to pass.

The number of senators per state is a provision of the US constitution and it therefore can only be changed by a constitutional amendment. Congress would be able to propose such an amendment, if it wished to do so, but the amendment would have to be ratified by the state legislatures before it would become part of the constitution.
The law wasn't passed by Congress, it is contained in the 6th amendment to the US Contitution. Various states have various stautes that define 'Speedy Trial' but it may vary from state-to-state.
