Alaska did not have to separately ratify the 14th and 15th amendments in order to join the union.
The Confederate states had to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution before being readmitted to the Union as part of the Reconstruction Acts of 1867. These acts established the process for Southern states to rejoin the Union, requiring them to create new state constitutions, ensure civil rights for freedmen, and ratify the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all persons born or naturalized in the U.S.
The document needed to be ratified by a unanimous vote of all thirteen colonies. The first state to ratify was Virginia on December 16, 1777. It did not become a binding document to legally establish the union of the states until March 1, 1781, when Maryland finally ratified the document.
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.
This is a tricky question. The last two "states" to actually ratify the US Constitution after it went into effect were Rhode Island and Vermont, not North Carolina and Rhode Island. Vermont ratified it on January 10, 1791.North Carolina and Rhode Island were the last of the "original 13 states" to ratify the US Constitution.Strictly speaking, Vermont's ratification was unnecessary since it was admitted to the union as the 14th state after all of the original 13 states had ratified the Constitution, but it did ratify it. No other state ratified the Constitution since they were admitted as states pursuant to legislation alone.
