Ratification means that something is formally approved so that it can become valid and implemented.
However, in the U.S. system of government, the term "ratified" is not usually applied to a "bill", that is, an ordinary piece of legislation. Congress "passes" a bill, after which it must be signed by the President to become law (or, if the President vetoes the bill, Congress may enact it by a 2/3 vote to override that veto).
"Ratification" is used for the process of voting by which Congress gives its formal consent to a treaty already negotiated by the executive branch, or state legislatures
vote to approve an amendment the Constitution proposed by Congress. After ratification no further approval (e.g., Presidential signature) is required for the amendment or treaty to take effect.
