B.  requiring only nine of thirteen states to ratify it instead of requiring unanimous consent

Explanation:

The framers used compromise in order to increase the chances of the constitution being ratified. Each of the political factions developing during this time, the federalists and anti-federalists, had different things they wanted in terms of structuring American society.

The federalists wanted a new constitution and to get rid of the Articles of Confederation. The anti-federalists, wanted to simply amend the Articles of Confederation. However, the anti-federalists were open to a new constitution as long as it had a list of individual rights that the government could not take away.

The framers compromised and gave each side something they desired. The federalists would get a new constitution and the anti-federalists would get a list of rights they were guaranteed to have. This became known as the Bill of Rights.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
