    The "best answer" would be ratified, but even so, the question was not worded in a perfectly correct manner either. The US Constitution took effect once it had been ratified by *9* of the states, and it only had effect on the states that did choose to ratify it.

    Eventually, all thirteen of the original states did ratify.
