What states voted for the ninth amendment?

All fifty. Here's the deal: When the United States converts a piece of land from a Territory to a State, its government is required to ratify the Constitution. The Ninth Amendment was written before the thirteen original colonies became states, and to join the Union as a state each colony had to ratify the Constitution in its entirety. All fifty states have ratified the Constitution, hence all fifty states have approved the Ninth Amendment.


How many amendments were passed under the articles of confederations?

Under the Articles of Confederation, only one amendment was successfully passed. This amendment, known as the "Amendments to the Articles of Confederation," was proposed in 1781 but required unanimous consent from all thirteen states for ratification. Due to the difficulties in achieving this consensus, no amendments were ultimately adopted, highlighting the weaknesses of the Articles.


It takes how many states to block an amendment?

The number of states blocking an amendment is not the proper test. It takes agreement by three fourths of the states in order for an amendment to become enacted. This isn't just a minor point. Calculating 3/4 of the states for ratification gives 37.5, which would have to be rounded up to 38 to meet the requirement. If the law read: 1/4 of the states must block to keep the amendment from being enacted, then 1/4 of 50 would be 12.5, and this would have to be rounded to 13 in order to meet the requirement, and agreement by 37 states could enact the amendment.
