The requirement for nine states to approve the U.S. Constitution was used only once during its ratification process in 1787-1788. After the Constitution was drafted in Philadelphia, it needed to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states to take effect. Once the necessary nine states ratified it, the Constitution officially became the governing document of the United States on March 4, 1789. Since then, the nine-state approval threshold has not been used again for any amendments or changes to the Constitution.
