The Constitution was ratified by the nine states required in Article VII in June 1788, but the Framers provided that it didn't become the legal framework for government until March 4, 1789, when it officially replaced the Articles of Confederation.

It was not signed. It was submitted to the states for retification. When nine states had ratified it went into effect. The 13th state did not raitfy it until 1790.
