How many states approved of the Constitution?
Atleast 9 of 13 states had to approve the original constitution before it could be ratified. Currently all states approve the US constitution (because they are technically bound by it). The states 'ratified' it after 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention 'adopted' it (Sept. 17, 1787). For the Constitution to be ratified, 9 of the 13 states had to ratify it. New Hampshire on June 21, 1788 was the 9th state. Within a month Virginia and New York followed. North Carolina (1790) and Rhode Island (1791) ratified after Washington became President (1789).
