Author: James Madison <[email protected]> Date: Thur Dec 15, 1791
Author: 3rd Congress <[email protected]> Date: Feb 7, 1795 The Eleventh Amendment was proposed by the 3rd Congress on March 4, 1794, when it was approved by the House of Representatives by vote of 81–9, having been previously passed by the Senate, 23–2, on January 14, 1794. The amendment was ratified by the state legislatures of the following states: * New York – March 27, 1794 * Rhode Island – March 31, 1794 * Connecticut – May 8, 1794 * New Hampshire – June 16, 1794 * Massachusetts – June 26, 1794 * Vermont – November 9, 1794 * Virginia – November 18, 1794 * Georgia – November 29, 1794 * Kentucky – December 7, 1794 * Maryland – December 26, 1794 * Delaware – January 23, 1795 * North Carolina – February 7, 1795 As there were 15 States at the time, the ratification by twelve States added the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution. It was subsequently ratified by: * South Carolina – December 4, 1797 On January 8, 1798, approximately three years after the Eleventh Amendment's adoption, President John Adams stated in a message to Congress that the Eleventh Amendment had been ratified by the necessary number of States and that it was now a part of the Constitution of the United States. New Jersey and Pennsylvania did not take action on the amendment during that era; neither did Tennessee, which had become a State on June 16, 1796. However, on June 25, 2018, the New Jersey Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 75 to symbolically post-ratify the Eleventh Amendment. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleventh_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Proposal_and_ratification
Author: 8th Congress <[email protected]> Date: Fri Jun 15, 1804 The Twelfth Amendment was proposed by the 8th Congress on December 9, 1803, when it was approved by the House of Representatives by vote of 84–42, having been previously passed by the Senate, 22–10, on December 2. The amendment was officially submitted to the states on December 12, 1803, and was ratified by the legislatures of the following states: * North Carolina (December 22, 1803) * Maryland (December 24, 1803) * Kentucky (December 27, 1803) * Ohio (December 30, 1803) * Pennsylvania (January 5, 1804) * Vermont (January 30, 1804) * Virginia (February 3, 1804) * New York (February 10, 1804) * New Jersey (February 22, 1804) * Rhode Island (March 12, 1804) * South Carolina (May 15, 1804) * Georgia (May 19, 1804) * New Hampshire (June 15, 1804) Having been ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states (13 of 17), the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment was completed and it became a part of the Constitution.[A] It was subsequently ratified by: * Tennessee (July 27, 1804) * Massachusetts (1961)[B] The amendment was rejected by Delaware, on January 18, 1804, and by Connecticut, on May 10, 1804. In a September 25, 1804, circular letter to the governors of the states, Secretary of State Madison declared the amendment ratified by three-fourths of the states. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Proposal_and_ratification
Author: James Ashley <[email protected]> Date: Dec 6, 1865 The Thirteenth Amendment became part of the Constitution on December 6, 1865, based on the following ratifications: * Illinois — February 1, 1865 * Rhode Island — February 2, 1865 * Michigan — February 3, 1865 * Maryland — February 3, 1865 * New York — February 3, 1865 * Pennsylvania — February 3, 1865 * West Virginia — February 3, 1865 * Missouri — February 6, 1865 * Maine — February 7, 1865 * Kansas — February 7, 1865 * Massachusetts — February 7, 1865 * Virginia — February 9, 1865 * Ohio — February 10, 1865 * Indiana — February 13, 1865 * Nevada — February 16, 1865 * Louisiana — February 17, 1865 * Minnesota — February 23, 1865 * Wisconsin — February 24, 1865 * Vermont — March 9, 1865 * Tennessee — April 7, 1865 * Arkansas — April 14, 1865 * Connecticut — May 4, 1865 * New Hampshire — July 1, 1865 * South Carolina — November 13, 1865 * Alabama — December 2, 1865 * North Carolina — December 4, 1865 * Georgia — December 6, 1865 Having been ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states (27 of the 36 states, including those that had been in rebellion), Secretary of State Seward, on December 18, 1865, certified that the Thirteenth Amendment had become valid, to all intents and purposes, as a part of the Constitution. Included on the enrolled list of ratifying states were the three ex-Confederate states that had given their assent, but with strings attached. Seward accepted their affirmative votes and brushed aside their interpretive declarations without comment, challenge or acknowledgment. The Thirteenth Amendment was subsequently ratified by: * Oregon — December 8, 1865 * California — December 19, 1865 * Florida — December 28, 1865 (reaffirmed – June 9, 1868) * Iowa — January 15, 1866 * New Jersey — January 23, 1866 (after rejection – March 16, 1865) * Texas — February 18, 1870 * Delaware — February 12, 1901 (after rejection – February 8, 1865) * Kentucky — March 18, 1976 (after rejection – February 24, 1865) * Mississippi — March 16, 1995; Certified – February 7, 2013 (after rejection – December 5, 1865) The Thirteenth Amendment became part of the Constitution 61 years after the Twelfth Amendment. This is the longest interval between constitutional amendments. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Ratification_by_the_states
Author: John Bingham <[email protected]> Date: Jul 9, 1868 The first twenty-eight states to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment were: * Connecticut – June 30, 1866 * New Hampshire – July 6, 1866 * Tennessee – July 18, 1866 * New Jersey – September 11, 1866 (rescinded ratification – February 20, 1868/March 24, 1868; re-ratified – April 23, 2003) * Oregon – September 19, 1866 (rescinded ratification – October 16, 1868; re-ratified – April 25, 1973) * Vermont – October 30, 1866 * New York – January 10, 1867 * Ohio – January 11, 1867 (rescinded ratification – January 13, 1868; re-ratified – March 12, 2003) * Illinois – January 15, 1867 * West Virginia – January 16, 1867 * Michigan – January 16, 1867 * Minnesota – January 16, 1867 * Kansas – January 17, 1867 * Maine – January 19, 1867 * Nevada – January 22, 1867 * Indiana – January 23, 1867 * Missouri – January 25, 1867 * Pennsylvania – February 6, 1867 * Rhode Island – February 7, 1867 * Wisconsin – February 13, 1867 * Massachusetts – March 20, 1867 * Nebraska – June 15, 1867 * Iowa – March 16, 1868 * Arkansas – April 6, 1868 * Florida – June 9, 1868 * North Carolina – July 4, 1868 (after rejection – December 14, 1866) * Louisiana – July 9, 1868 (after rejection – February 6, 1867) * South Carolina – July 9, 1868 (after rejection – December 20, 1866) If rescission by Ohio and New Jersey were invalid, South Carolina would have been the 28th State. Rescission by Oregon did not occur until later. These rescissions caused significant controversy. However, ratification by other states continued during the course of the debate: * Alabama – July 13, 1868 On July 20, 1868, Secretary of State William H. Seward certified that if withdrawals of ratification by New Jersey and Ohio were ineffective, then the amendment had become part of the Constitution on July 9, 1868, with ratification by South Carolina. The following day, Congress adopted and transmitted to the Department of State a concurrent resolution declaring the Fourteenth Amendment to be a part of the Constitution and directing the Secretary of State to promulgate it as such. Both New Jersey and Ohio were named in the congressional resolution as having ratified the amendment, although Alabama was also named, making 29 states total. On the same day, one more State ratified: Georgia – July 21, 1868 (after rejection – November 9, 1866) On July 27, Secretary Seward received the formal ratification from Georgia. The following day, July 28, Secretary Seward issued his official proclamation certifying the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment. Secretary Seward stated that his proclamation was "in conformance" to the resolution by Congress, but his official list of States included both Alabama and Georgia, as well as Ohio and New Jersey. The inclusion of Ohio and New Jersey has led some to question the validity of rescission of a ratification. The inclusion of Alabama and Georgia has called that conclusion into question. While there have been Supreme Court cases dealing with ratification issues, this particular question has never been adjudicated. The Fourteenth Amendment was subsequently ratified: * Virginia – October 8, 1869 (after rejection – January 9, 1867) * Mississippi – January 17, 1870 * Texas – February 18, 1870 (after rejection – October 27, 1866) * Delaware – February 12, 1901 (after rejection – February 8, 1867) * Maryland – April 4, 1959 (after rejection – March 23, 1867) * California – May 6, 1959 * Kentucky – March 30, 1976 (after rejection – January 8, 1867) Since Ohio and New Jersey re-ratified the Fourteenth Amendment in 2003, all U.S. states that existed during Reconstruction have ratified the amendment. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Ratification_by_the_states
