It took 10 of the 13 states to ratify the U.S. ConstitutionGroup of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement is False.

To ratify the U.S. Constitution, it required the approval of 9 out of the 13 states, not 10. The requirement for ratification was established in Article VII of the Constitution itself, which states that the Constitution would take effect once it was ratified by 9 states. This was achieved on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify. The process was contentious and involved significant debates in various states, but ultimately, the lower threshold of 9 states was sufficient for the Constitution to be enacted. Therefore, saying it took 10 states is incorrect; it only took a minimum of 9 states.
