[American Civilization] Review for final exam

After searching strenuously for the ratification date of the Constitution, I conclude that the date is June 21, 1788 (After 9/13 states ratified it), the date that all 13 states ratified the Constitution is May 29, 1790. The context was that each of the original thirteen states in the United States was invited to ratify the Constitution created in Philadelphia in 1787. The Constitution specified that nine ratifications would be sufficient to consider the Constitution accepted.
