The process for ratification in each state was approximately the same: the state legislature called a state ratifying convention to decide whether or not that state would ratify the proposed Constitution.

During the ratification debates of the U.S. Constitution, Federalists supported ratification, arguing that a strong central government was necessary to maintain order and protect individual liberties. They believed the new Constitution would create a more effective system of governance compared to the Articles of Confederation. In contrast, Anti-Federalists opposed ratification, fearing that a powerful central government would threaten individual rights and state sovereignty. They advocated for a Bill of Rights to safeguard personal freedoms and limit governmental power.

The convention made it so that each state would hold a convention to ratify the Constitution. This meant a series of compromises and ratifications which were heavily influenced by Benjamin Franklin.
The National Convention, which created the current U.S. Constitution, was ratified through a series of state conventions held between 1787 and 1790. Each state had the opportunity to debate and vote on the Constitution, with nine states needed for ratification. By June 1788, enough states had ratified the document, leading to its implementation. The process emphasized state sovereignty, as each state's convention acted independently to decide on ratification.
Before the ratification of the 17th Amendment each state's legislature elected the two U.S. Senators. Direct election of Senators allowed to voting public to vote for the Senators of their choice.
