  3. RATIFICATION • And the answer is……………. • C. Ratification is the act of giving formal consent. • Q: How does this term apply to the Constitution? • Although the Constitution was adopted by the framers on Sept. 17, 1787 – the states needed to formally consent to it = RATIFICATION

  4. RATIFICATION • BUT you know this isn’t going to be easy!!!!!!! Problem • All the states did not agree (BIG SURPRISE!) • Nation quickly divides into two factions • Anti-Federalist and Federalists • Interesting Note: Only 39 of the 55 delegates that attended the convention actually signed the final document.

  5. RATIFICATION • Something missing? Was there something missing from the Constitution? • THE PEOPLE - The Constitution was silent in its original form on the rights and protections of the people. WHAT DO WE NEED? • A BILL OF RIGHTS to protect the people.
