does the Us Constitution had to be accepted by all 13 states in order to be ratified?

Answer 1

there are 50 states not 13 unless you are talking about the original 13 then the answer is yes

Answer 2

If all 13 did not accept the Constitution in1789, they would have had to rewrite it again and again until all agreed. In fact that is just what they did do, and are still doing even to day. Only now they need only 3/4 of the states to accept it. That to was a change they have added to the Constitution.

Answer 3

When the US Constitution was signed it indeed had to be ratified by the 13 state legislatures. Rhode Island was the last too sign after the threat of taxation by other states and Invasion by Delaware

Answer 4

The constitution needed to be approved and ratified by as many of the states as possible,hopefully all of them,in order to carry enough weight to mean something.No one state HAD to join the union.However, it was understood that without all or almost all the various state governments approving the document,success of the union was very much in doubt.I think it was summed up nicely by Benjamin Franklin when he said "We all shall hang together' for signing the document thus sealing their fates as treasonous subjects of the British crown.

Answer 5

With the States Reduction Act of 1996 in which Bill Clinton reduced the number of states from 50 to 13, yes.

Answer 6

I do not know, but I think all who are bound by the law should have an equal say in the law. That way we would remain free. Chances that all 50 states would be wrong seems unlikely.
