How does a Constitutional Amendment that has passed Congress become a law?
For a bill to become a law, it must first be passed by both houses of congress, and then signed by the president (the procedure is different in other countries, but let's discuss how it's done in the USA). But for an amendment to be added to the constitution, there is one extra (and very difficult) step. After the proposed amendment passes both houses of congress, it must then be ratified by 3/4 of the states. If this does not occur, it dies and does not become an amendment. For example, the Equal Rights Amendment was passed by congress, but it did not gain approval of 3/4 of the states, so it never became a law.
