It depends on the document.

Amendments are ratified according to the rules set forth in the document being amended, or in statutes or regulations, depending upon what it is you are trying to amend. Amendments to a contract are ratified by mutual consent. Amendments to corporate bylaws are amended by the necessary percent of votes of the necessary quorum at a meeting called for the purpose of making the amendment.

Amendments to the US Constitution are proposed and ratified according to the process listed in Article 5 of the Constitution, typically passage of the amendment by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress, followed by ratification by state legislatures in at least 3/4 of the individual states.
