Nine States were required. They were ratified by state conventions and not the state legislatures.
Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress required the approval of nine out of the thirteen states to pass most legislation. This requirement made it challenging to enact laws and govern effectively, as achieving consensus among the states was often difficult.

A unanimous vote was required to amend the articles but only a 2/3 majority (9/13) to pass any law.
The Articles of Confederation required 9 out of 13 states to pass a law to ensure a significant consensus among the states, reflecting their sovereignty and independence. This high threshold aimed to prevent any single state from dominating the legislative process, promoting collaboration and compromise. However, this requirement also made it difficult to enact legislation efficiently, contributing to the weaknesses of the Confederation. Ultimately, this challenge highlighted the need for a stronger federal government, leading to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
For a territory to become a state in the United States, Congress must pass an enabling act that allows the territory to draft a state constitution. Once the constitution is drafted and ratified by the residents of the territory, Congress must then pass an act of admission, formally granting statehood. This process ensures that the new state meets certain requirements and is integrated into the Union.
