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.

Further explanation

The states that accepted the constitution are:

Delaware: December 7, 1787 Pennsylvania: December 12, 1787 New Jersey: December 18, 1787 Georgia: January 2, 1788 Connecticut: January 9, 1788 Massachusetts: February 6, 1788 Maryland: April 28, 1788 South Carolina: May 23, 1788 New Hampshire: June 21, 1788 Virginia: June 25, 1788 New York: July 26, 1788 North Carolina: October 21, 1789 Rhode Island: May 29, 1790

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:

The elected delegates from each state were invited to the “Constitutional convention of 1787” to approve the constitution.
