How many states had to vote for the constitution to approve it

From the 13 states in the US at the end of the 18th century, three-quarters of them or nine states had to approve the constitution for it to be formally adopted. The debates took place in Philadelphia. It happened during the constitutional convention in 1787 with the elected delegates from different states. The discussions were long and tight, but the constitution managed to obtain the vote of enough states. This rule was applied since 1789.

The states that accepted the constitution are:

These delegates elected by the population of the states who voted this constitution, except in Delaware, New Jersey and Georgia where referendums were made. The debates took a long time because the states did not agree on how to organize the country. The main opposition was between the big and the small states. Virginia represented the big states and New Jersey for the small.

Further Explanations:

For the Constitution to get ratified was to be approved by 9 out of 13 States. The debate on the drafted Constitution took place in Philadelphia for ten months. The elected delegates from each state were invited to the “Constitutional convention of 1787” to approve the constitution. It took much time to ratify as the Sates were not agreeing with the clauses to identify constitution. After such a long debate, the draft concluded and was put into influence in 1789.
