No. According to Article 7, the Constitution was considered ratified when 9 states (2/3 of the 13) had approved it. The last 2 states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, ratified the Constitution in late 1789 and in 1790, after the proposition of the Bill of Rights in September, 1789.
Article II, Section 28 of the Constitution of the Philippines says that the state must follow a policy of full public disclosure for each of its transactions that involve the public interest, as long as it's reasonable according to the law. The Constitution was ratified on February 2, 1987.
Article V lays out the Amendment process of the U.S. Constitution. It can either be voted for by 2/3 of each house of Congress and ratified by 3/4 of the states, or it can be amended by a convention specified for this process by 2/3 of the states.
Article V of the Constitution explains the amendment process of the Constitution, that is, how the Constitution may be amended. There are two processes for proposing amendments, either by two-thirds vote in each house of Congress or by an Article V Convention. All amendments thus far to the Constitution have been by proposal of Congress. The reason a convention to propose amendments, or Article V Convention has never been called despite the 750 applications from all 50 states, is because Congress refuses to obey the Constitution and call the convention. The Constitution mandates that if two-thirds of the state legislatures (34) apply for a convention, Congress must call it. A convention can only propose amendments to the present Constitution and is not empowered to write or propose a new or replacement Constitution. Regardless of how an amendment is proposed it must be ratified in the states either by three fourths vote in the state legislatures or by three fourths vote in state ratifying conventions. The method of ratification is by choice of Congress but Congress has no power to withhold a proposed amendment or veto it once it has been ratified. Once an amendment is ratified, it becomes part of our present Constitution.
