Virginia was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution by convention on June 25, 1788. It played a crucial role in the ratification process, as its approval was seen as vital for the new government's legitimacy. Virginia's convention was marked by significant debates among prominent figures like George Mason and James Madison.

Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, and therefore was the first state admitted to the Union. This is why one of its nicknames is First State.

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.
