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.
Two states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, rejected the Constitution, but later reversed their votes after the other states had given their approval. Their ratifications came after Washington's first inauguration. Rhode Island held out until 1790, when ratification passed 32 to 30.
