<Li> Virginia: Article One on November 3, 1791, and Articles Two through Twelve on December 15, 1791 (After failing to ratify the 12 amendments during the 1789 legislative session .) </Li> <P> Having been approved by the requisite three - fourths of the several states, there being 14 States in the Union at the time (as Vermont had been admitted into the Union on March 4, 1791), the ratification of Articles Three through Twelve was completed and they became Amendments 1 through 10 of the Constitution . President Washington informed Congress of this on December 30, 1791 . </P> <P> As they had not yet been approved by 11 of the 14 states, the ratification of Article One (ratified by 10) and Article Two (ratified by 6) remained incomplete . The ratification plateau they needed to reach soon rose to 12 of 15 states when Kentucky joined the Union (June 1, 1792). On June 27, 1792, the Kentucky General Assembly ratified all 12 amendments, however this action did not come to light until 1996 . </P> <P> Article One came within one state of the number needed to become adopted into the Constitution on two occasions between 1789 and 1803 . Despite coming close to ratification early on, it has never received the approval of enough states to become part of the Constitution . As Congress did not attach a ratification time limit to the article, it is still technically pending before the states . Since no state has approved it since 1792, ratification by an additional 27 states would now be necessary for the article to be adopted . </P>
