yesActually, no. The last two "states" to actually ratify the US Constitution were Rhode Island and Vermont.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.
