the Confederate constitution banned the importation of slaves into its states from outside countries, well before the US
To create the government for the United States of America
Before the constitution, the United States government was based on the Articles of Confederation. However, these weren't successful because they gave too much power to the states and not enough to the central government. For example, the central government couldn't tax the states, they could only ask for money. The states didn't have to give them any. Also, the central government couldn't control trade between the states or the states and other countries. This meant that the states could charge ridiculous prices for goods and other countries wouldn't want to trade with the US.
all depts contracted before the adoption of the constitution are valid against the united states under the constitution :)
9 out of 13 states were needed to ratify the constitution

2/3 of the states had to approve it before the Constitution became the law of the land. But even then it was only the law of the land for the states that had ratified it..
All 13 states had to ratify the US Constitution for it to take effect.
3/4 of the states must approve it before it becomes part of the constitution.
