In Dover, Delaware, the U.S. Constitution is unanimously ratified by all
30 delegates to the Delaware Constitutional Convention, making Delaware
the first state of the modern United States.
Less than four months before, the Constitution was signed by 37 of the
original 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention meeting in
Philadelphia. The Constitution was sent to the states for ratification,
and, by the terms of the document, the Constitution would become binding
once nine of the former 13 colonies had ratified the document. Delaware
led the process, and on June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth
state to ratify the Constitution, making federal democracy the law of
the land. Government under the U.S. Constitution took effect on March 4,
1789.
