ratified amendment Explanation: ...statutes filed with the Trade and Commerce registry, including the ratified amendment of xxx 2002... In government, a resolution is merely an expression of will without carrying a binding, legal weight. It must always be voted on (or ratified or approved) by majority decision before the executive branch can exercise and enforce it. |

amendment, dated xxxx, Explanation: There is no need to add "resolution." It was once a resolution to amend, but after the resolution was passed by the voting body, it became an amendment, dated xxx. The German keeps the "resolution" but the English does not. I have translated reams of corporate material out of Switzerland. |
