Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

After nine states had ratified the Constitution by mid-1788 it became law in the United States.

Explanation:

• The Constitution was ratified by New Hampshire on June 21, 1788, making it the ninth of the 13 states to do so. At that point, it was the legal basis for American federalism.

• The states before New Hampshire were Maryland, South Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
• On December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first State to ratify. The Confederation Congress set March 9, 1789, as the date for the Constitution to go into effect after New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify on June 22, 1788.
