No, not all states must ratify a U.S. Constitutional convention. Article V of the Constitution allows for a convention to be called by two-thirds of the state legislatures, but once a convention is convened and proposes amendments, only three-fourths of the states (currently 38 out of 50) must ratify any proposed amendments for them to become part of the Constitution. Thus, while a significant number of states is required to initiate a convention, ratification can occur with a smaller subset of states.
