    Article VII of the U.S. Constitution explains how the Constitution would go into effect, stating that approval by nine of the thirteen states was enough to establish the new government. This article provided a clear, practical path for ratification at a time when unanimous agreement was unlikely. By setting this threshold, it ensured the Constitution could move forward once a strong majority of states agreed, rather than being stalled by holdouts.
