Term1/14
What does the term ratify mean
Definition1/14

The definition is, "Sign or give formal consent to (a treaty, contract, or agreement), making it officially valid." It's primarily used for formal documents. An example would be amendments to the Constitution. If an amendment was needed to be added to the Constitution, it would require 3/4 of the party putting forth the amendment (states or congress), then it would require 2/3 of the other party to ratify the amendment. (other party is defined as the group that didn't put for the amendment. States would have to vote 2/3 if if it were Congress who put the amendment forth, and vice versa.)
