Is it true or false six states had to approve the constitution before it was effective?
Technically both. Under the Articles of Confederation, the governing document before the Constitution, all thirteen states had to approve any amendments. The Constitutional Convention was convened to change the Articles, and technically should have required all 13 states to sign off on any changes. As the Convention progressed, the delegates opted to come up with a new Constitution rather than change the Articles. Under the Constitution, only 9 of 13 states had to ratify it. Once New Hampshire approved it, the Constitution took effect under its own terms, yet contrary to the Articles. Eventually, Rhode Island ratified the Constitution, but not until 1790, well after the new government was operating. A good argument can be made that the government was operating illegally until then.
