Conventions, Not State LegislaturesThe Federalists proposed that the Constitution should be ratified by popularly elected conventions rather than by the state legislatures.
The Federalists suggested that popularly elected conventions ratify the Constitution rather than having it done by state legislatures. The U.S. Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788.
True :)
popularly elected conventions
at least nine states out of the thirteen ratified the document.
true
Ratification of the ConstitutionState conventions consisting of popularly elected delegates.The Constitution required 9 states to ratify to begin operation. Of the original thirteen, the New Hampshire and Virginia Conventions were meeting at the same time, but New Hampshire ratified June 21 to be the ninth, then Virginia June 24, New York July 26, 1788, North Carolina November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island May 29, 1790.and the Federalists favored ratification!!! :)
The Constitution of the United States , as provided in Article 5, may be amended when two thirds of each house of Congress approves a proposed amendment (approval by the president is not required), and three fourths of the states thereafter ratify it, sometimes within a set period. Congress decides whether state ratification shall be by vote of the legislatures or by popularly elected conventions.
