On this day in 1787, Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the Constitution, doing so by a unanimous vote. This momentous event occurred exactly one year after the Hampshire Herald published a statement by Thomas Grover listing the demands made by the participants in Shaysâ Rebellion.
New Hampshire became the ninth state to accept the Constitution on June 21, 1788, which officially ended government under the Articles of Confederation. It was not until May 29, 1790, that the last state, Rhode Island, finally ratified the Constitution. The states and the dates of ratification are listed here, in order of ratification: Delaware: December 7, 1787. Pennsylvania: December 12, 1787. New Jersey: December 18, 1787.
