It proposes and passes amendments.

If an amendment to the Constitution is submitted to the states, then three-fourths of all states must approve it. Today that would be 38 states. This action, if it occurred, would result in a Constitutional Convention in order to add the amendment. This process has never been used to add any amendment. The more usual process is the creation of a joint resolution of Congress, which is approved by two-thirds votes in both houses and forwarded to the National Archivist for inclusion in the Constitution.

For the US Constitution, states must ratify any amendments. Typically amendment are passed by Congress and sent to the state legislatures, where 3/4 of these legislatures must approve the amendment in order for it to be ratified and become part of the Constitution. For state constitutions, voters within the state must approve any amendments passed by the legislature or by any convention called for that purpose.
To propose an amendment, there must be at least 2/3 of the people supporting the amendment from both sides of the Congress (House of Representatives and Senates). To ratify an amendment, the Congress (both sides) has to have 3/4 of the population supporting it. Therefore, it takes more people to ratify it than proposing it. Please edit if any of the readers thinks there's something more to it.

Beginning with the 23rd Amendment, Congress has imposed a seven year limit upon the time in which the requisite number of states (75%) must approve/ratify an amendment in order for it to become effective. However, this time limit is not Constitutional in nature and could be modified or dropped with the promulgation of any new amendments. Prior to 1917, there was no deadline for states to ratify amendments.
A constitutional amendment is any change in the US Constitution. Like the constitution, an amendment must be proposed and then adopted by Congress or by state conventions. It must then be ratified by 2/3 of the current states before it becomes part of the Constitution. Amendments can only be superceded by another later amendment, or repealed by one.
The method of ratification is decided by the body that passes the amendment, which historically has been the US Congress (by 2/3 vote of both houses).In all but one case, the approved amendments were ratified by state legislatures.However, the language of the 21st Amendment (1933) specified its passage by state conventions rather than state legislatures. This was particularly chosen to avoid opposition by the same groups that had successfully lobbied for the passage of the 18th Amendment (Prohibition, 1920) which the 21st Amendment repealed.* Should a national constitutional convention (Article V Convention) successfully be called, it too would be empowered to specify the means by which any of its proposed amendments would be ratified.
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.
Connecticut and Georgia refused to ratify any of the amendments that constitute The Bill of Rights, believing them to be unnecessary.
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.
