Incorrect spelling, explanation: coming from Middle English amenden, the verb amend is spelled with one consonant m. To create a noun we add a suffix, here -ment, and the correct form is amendment. Ammendment is, thus, incorrect.
Correct spelling, explanation: this form is correct because the word amendment is a noun made by adding the suffix -ment to the verb amend. This verb comes from Middle English amenden, also spelled with one m. Therefore other spellings, including ammendment, are wrong and amendment is the only correct form.
