The Constitution was completed by the Philadelphia Convention but they were afraid that the states would wouldn't accept it. Some states did resist the idea of of the Constitution. But the framers of the document felt that they didn't need the vote of all the states to ratify it, rather they thought that 9 votes of the 13 states would be sufficient.
"In June of 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify, meeting the criteria required to adopt the Constitution."
Eventually the rest of the thirteen states accepted the Constitution.
